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! :'(

Just to say it again. I agree with taxing the rich. I don'ta agree where you raise a minuscule amount of taxes from 501c private schools. Let's call for a 30% wealth tax so we get a wealth ceiling.
It's estimated at over a billion pounds, which isn't insignificant at all in UK terms.
501c? What do US tax orgs have to do with UK education?
Nonprofit. Don't know how they are called in the UK, but they usually work the same everywhere.
Any chance that if you don't even know the basis by which they're free of VAT you might not be well enough informed to be touting an opinion on it?
What do you mean? Obviously knowledge about the usa applies everywhere and makes you informed enough to comment on any country's systems.
I think running my own company for 10 years kinda qualifies me to know how taxing vat differences on a balance sheet works. Consumers usually see only the Vat added...
It probably does, it's just not relevant to what we're talking about.
