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.

Anyone with half a brain knows this. At this point it's pretty clear that ignorance isn't the reason it's not happening.

Well no, there are other ways, but rich people will like them a lot less.

The rich clearly don't take the situation seriously, why should they? They are big winners

Not even remotely the only way, there's plenty of roads to take with the most optimal ones liquidating the rich as a class alltogether.

Seize their assets.
