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! :'(

Do you agree that Brexit has been "a pointless waste of time, money and effort"?

Well, their own reports are pretty damning: The Commission’s response to fraud in the Common Agricultural Policy There’s a “Conclusions and recommendations” section that’s quite illuminating.

Taken separately. Because a few mins thought about recent UK history shows how fucked up giving the UK GOV More power to solve this is.

The UK GOV is currently attacking UK disabled benefits. Dispute multiple of their own reports stating it is against both UK law and ECHR laws.

Refusing to release Thier own investigation into the cause of multiple disabled suisides from victims of the gives changes to disability benefits,

If lack of response to recommendations is reason to leave the EU. Honestly you need to buy a boat renounce your citizenship of any nation. Because national governments you wish to give more power to are far far worse.

Guess why billionaires funded Brexit?
