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.
The thing about the Convention is that it constrains governments, and it constrains the way that governments can treat minorities and people it doesn't like... If we were out of the ECHR, you wouldn't have that constraint
Tories are salivating at the thought
Clearly not
Do it.
We all know this is what the “take back control” idiots wanted. To torch the rule of law.
To torch the rule of law
More to limit the huge list of people they need to bribe. To change laws.
Shutting cross nation treaties down. Makes controlling local governments affordable and practical. Hence why UKIP reform trump and all these right wing arsehole get so much billionaires support. It's how they gain fudal level control.
The more worrying thing. Is how easy voters are falling for bullshit anti immigration claims.
