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! :'(

Good, why could they not have also done this with the ferries though?

AFAIK it was due to the slightly weird jurisdiction that ships fall under due to moving between countries.

Sorta. Legal jurisdiction on a ship is the nation it is registered in. IE its flag nation.

Shipping companies etc register ships in nations that give them advantages legally.

Then hilariously enough mark ownership. In different nations as the 2 are not related. This allows tax advantages.
