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! :'(

Should we invest in education for children as to what is and isn't healthy sexual behaviour, or perhaps put the responsibility for patenting children on the parents? No, let's bring in authoritarian laws and undermine online privacy again, and maybe let some of our mates get rich while we're at it!
Problem is, just like pensioners this cohort of active voters (entitled parents) have the ear of political parties. They threaten to vote with their feet. These daft policies don't start in a vacuum. Middle class parents have lobbied for years to get to this stage and the government had obliged rather than do the hard thing and better educate parents on how to keep their children safe online.
Can't wait for Keir to get in and reverse or axe this policy. That's what he'll do, right? Right?
Kier ain't axing shit. The man is too busy pivoting on all pledges so he can morph into Boris and you think he will make this the seperating line?
Unlike the tories, Labour have a costed manifesto, so they have to remove things if the economy gets worse and they'll have less money to work with if they win. It keeps getting worse, so they keep removing things from the manifesto. There's not really another option other than running on a manifesto they know contains things that can't fit in the budget.
Wait, really? Ok, I admit that's actually a good reason for removing manifesto promises. I was under the impression they cut the £28B etc etc just because they felt like it/lobbying/appeasing demographics
