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.

obvious consequences to anyone with a brain, too bad the British are brainless
without an empire to leech Britain is an island shithole, cutting itself off from EU resources and markets should be the most obviously "this will fuck up the economy forever" decisions ever made
Itd be different if it were intended to be a period of some sort of autarky where a socialist government re industrializes and actually, you know, plans for the future, but that's obviously not what happened here, they just cut themselves off and expected The Market to do the opposite of the obvious
it's really like a tumor that cut itself off and is now surprised at how little blood flow it gets
I don't think it makes sense to make judgements about the intelligence of everyone in a country based on an action done by some people in that country.
51.4% being brain free. Is a pretty bad national average on the integence of the whole nation.
If over half the nation are wondering about like Brexit zombies. It hardly does well for educational opportunities to the rest.
Hmm is that actually a good film idea?
i will judge whoever i want on whatever criteria i care about no matter how superficial, that's what it means to be an american, sweaty
