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! :'(

To be manufactured in France, if memory serves.

The French company got bought out, they're made in Poland now.

No, the French company manufactures them in Poland.

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but we did not need to leave the EU.

To pay the french to make that.

It wasn't a referendum on what color our passports were.

The government decides what our passports look like. They could totally change the look without us having to leave the EU. It's not as if there was some EU mandate that forced our passports to be burgundy.

It's fair to say a big deal was made over the change in colour back when they announced it. But four / five years on from that it's only ever brought up by Remainers, constantly...

Yeah that is what happens in the world. When one side discovers how stupid their claim to a win was.

The other side gets to take the piss out of their stupidity.

Not sure you really have a point.

That's because brexit supporters are embarrassed about how stupid they are.
