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.

Having had experience of the Job Centre in the past, if I had serious mental health problems, seeing someone from there would not make me feel any better.
Job centre staff receive training on how to be as ignorant and rude as possible, it takes really skill.
I had one try to make me go work on a construction site, despite the fact I'd told them loads of times that I tenden problems in my hand, and can't really grip things. They said I was just lazy, I'd have dropped tools on everyone's heads, it would be a nightmare.
