General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

You are confusing ~~reasons~~ ideas in general and reasons relevant to this decision.

A general idea that's out there in the world is not the reasoning behind this legal case.

There can be ideas A, B, C, and D out there in the world. If the judge says "I'm making this ruling because of D", then D is the reason for that ruling and decision. A, B, and C are not reasons for that decision. They remain ideas, concepts, whatever. They are not reasons.

A reason to support something can also be a reason it is passed. The main reason this happened was what the judge said. Another reason this happened is because people believe there are inherent issues with hiring agency workers to break strikes. All ideas in general have an effect on legislation.

You are being hyper-literal.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not part of the judges reasoning means it was not a reason. This is how the law works. This isn't hyper literal, this is basic logic.

Legislation is not the same as judicial rulings. Judicial rulings need to be based on specific reasons. If they were not used, they are not reasons behind that ruling.

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the judicial ruling did something. Its one of the reasons why you would want them to do that. Some people have that viewpoint towards the law, therefore it is a reason to repeal it. Like I've said three times now, the other reason is the more legally important one.

This is not basic logic, you are being hyper-literal.

Wants are not reasons behind the decision. You can have wants A through Z. It is decided because of Z, then Z is the reason. A through Y are not the reason behind the decision.

This is basic logic.

I'll leave you to your feelings.

Y is a reason to make that decision. One is more applicable legally. They are both reasons behind the decision.

I'll leave you to your feelings.
