UK Politics
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.

Has never been a "bar".
Only a rallying call. And given it excludes many on benefits/unemployed etc. These are people with the most experienced of how society works when things fail. In this modern age. It is far from an inclusive call.
That said. Age has always been more about experience and education. Today's 16 yo is way more educated in world events. Then any 1800s adult. And more so then even in the 80s when I was 16.
The internet leads to some negatives. But things are Def different now.
