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.

Ok so explain how costing citizens more public funds for repairs helps their cause and doesn't just alienate everyone?
What they are is right-wing plants, trying to make trans groups take the fall for their idiocy. It's clear as day.
Jesus fucking Christ. This will cost you less in your tax bill than the state's support for the famine in Gaza.
People need to make a fucking point. Let them.
I don't live there, so I don't really give a fuck. What I give a fuck about is groups like these giving the actual people they're "defending" a bad name.
But that's not what you fucking said is it. You said that they are costing taxpayers. So why would you give a single solitary shite about that if it's not your taxes? Where do you live? Why are you weighing in on this as though you do live here?
Offices are paid for centrally by a Parliamentary agency. Local taxes going to local things isn’t a thing in Britain.
You're the absolute fucking opposite of a "witty" whatever the fuck. Messed up that username something bad if you can't even fucking read a comment. Here, I'll paste it again for you.

I even highlighted the important parts, in case your crayon filled nose is covering up the phone. Looney tunes motherfucker.
You're a bad troll, you could use your time to do good you know?
Had to go get your alt account, huh?
Why don't you doubly fuck off then.
You've made my point my guy
Absolutely incredible. The front of you to put that edit in then gaslight as though it was there when I wrote my comment.
That's a very good point you make.
And yet you keep commenting.
Emiline Pankhurst and the suffragettes were terrorists, and even called themselves terrorists. They won that fight didn't they despite plenty of reactionary "someone please think of the taxpayer" cowards.
"But can't you see that protesting won't change anything, so why even bother", the antiprotestors loudly protested.
They did not win. Again, the WSPU completely abandoned its campaign with no results on the outbreak of war. Pankhurst had already moved on to ethno-nationalist politics by the time the vote was extended. In any case, the Suffragette version of the franchise excluded working class men and women, as Pankhurst didn’t think they would vote in the Empire’s interest. Even when Women got the vote it wasn’t in the way the WSPU wanted.
What's your point? Direct action doesn't work because unless your results align 100% with your initial goals?
My point is that in modern Britain, violence hasn’t been a route to any “freedom”
Quickly looking through the guidelines, it seems the public wouldn’t fund damage costs.
