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! :'(

Not just pro-Brexit then, also a massive cunt.

Some people have seen Bigfoot. Allegedly.
Hello. 👋
I always thought mental disabilities are a protected characteristic, but I guess I’ve been wrong. (/s just in case)
Transphobia is, though, according to previous court rulings. Maybe if they threw in some TERF talking points, they’d have a case.
And rightly so, racism and bigotry should not be protected.
Opinions are not beliefs, no matter how hard you hold on to them.
It's my belief that that's just your opinion
See you in court.
Having an opinion about brexit isn't a political stance it's an ideological one.
Brexit has provenly been bad for the UK so the the only way it could be defended is on ideological tribalism grounds.
These corpos barely provide work safety, discrimination is still a thing despite being illegal. There is nothing you can really do about other people behaving like that and corporate will always protect corporate. Expecting corporate to protect your "politcs" is naive.
You do realise she was working for a charity, right?
How is that any different?
Have a think, perhaps you can figure out yourself what's the difference between a big corporation and a charity.
It is a government sanctioned beaurocracy that is staffed by humans who behave as you would expect a human to behave.
Headline proves my point.
What point are you trying to make?
It is a government sanctioned beaurocracy
What on earth are you talking about?
Your point is?
All financial firms in the UK must be authorised too, are these "government sanctioned bureaucracy" for you?
Are you a USian by any chance?
corporate will always protect corporate
