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! :'(

That's right yes, after we pay for his fucking hat day he gets a pay rise while we get a cost of living crisis and strikes across the board to get a few pennies.

Fuck the Royal family, take it all off them in my view, don't let them keep a penny it's all stolen. They can work in fucking Aldi like normal people.

Why do they get this money?

Why do they get any money? And from the tax payer?

This seems so fucking archaic to me.

Long long ago, some dead people got other dead people to kill people who are now dead. Obviously, This means this man gets a bunch of cash and owns a bunch of stuff.

All royalty are just the descendants of criminals really, who murdered and thieves their way to the top.
