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! :'(

Why are they so obsessed with this clearly unpopular policy? Just give up and move on. Come up with ethical alternatives? Or even a stricter border policy like other western countries have...
But of course, if they did that, then they wouldn't be able to use immigration and foreigners as a scare tactic on their elderly demographic anymore.
I know a few people who are strongly anti-immigration and even they think it's a stupid policy that is a waste of money.
Because it is just a stupid policy that's a waste of money. If your goal is to stop immigration there are much cheaper and more efficient ways of doing it.
Also, would they have, anything to talk about? ..... 'cricket noises'....
