United Kingdom
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.

Depends on what you mean by making it work. Growing gdp yes. That's probably the only way.
But a lot of other things could have been done. Build a shitload of houses and forces businesses to do more on the job training and move to low employment areas could have had a huge huge impact. But this absolutely would have had to be tied to low immigration to have worked.
It would have decreased gdp or stopped it growing as much but people would have more jobs, more discretionary income and better living situations. Personally I think that's better than increasing GDP.
