General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

"how dare a protest inconvenience anyone, to draw attention to a problem?"
You're right. Before this protest I'd never even heard of climate change.
I don't think anyone had.
The problem is the apathy of the public.
And annoying regular people by stopping them getting to work is not going to make them more sympathetic.
Quite the opposite.
And uet its worked many times on the past, it's the entire reaon for non violent protest. Ghandi, Malcom.X, Henry David Thoreau etc etc.
Personally i think she shoukd be gifted Buckingham Palace and kick the current shit bags out
Ah yes, who needs a planet when they have money?
People need money to live, Maeve.
It's not just rich people who use a motorway.
And air, livable temperatures, clean water, clean food. It's not an easy choice but this lady saw the big picture, beyond the immediate. I don't know your situation. I do know ours, globally
there is literally scientific studies that show actions like these works
