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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Seems someone is scared that all their young people would hightail off to Europe...
Or if I can’t do it then they can’t either.
That too, in that they don't want seasonal agricultural workers to feel secure, because then they can be abused harder on pain of summary deportation, but they also need enough young British people to stay put to keep everything else afloat both through their direct labour, through the services made possible from the taxes they pay, and from the competition their expertise and economic effect they provide if they remain in the UK.
