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.

Well, yeah.
If you can't work, fine. If you won't work, that's different.
Why? Why should we all have to work just to survive? Productivity is so immensely high with computers and machines that work is not a requirement for life or society like it once was. A smaller percentage of the population can work than before for the same overall output.
Work should improve your life. You put something in, you get something out (pay). Now you can go and improve your life somehow by buying goods and/or services. But needing to work just for the bare basics of food and shelter is ridiculous in the modern age. We're a rich country, we should be able to afford to feed and home our population with ease and yet constantly in political discourse there's talk of benefits "scroungers" "stealing" money they "don't deserve", usually for pitifully small amounts of money as well.
where do you think your food comes from? Who build the room you sleep in?
with that being said, our labour is severely abused by the owner class as we barely get enough out of it to pay the bills.
You're missing the forest for the trees. Read the first paragraph again
P.S. my food generally comes from my garden...
how did you acquire land to grow the said food?
Land is free, it literally costs nothing to let someone live on land. We make it unaffordable
Why are we extorted for the land we need to live on?
I know you were conditioned to think this way but it's a malicious way to think
the strategy of the commons, me man...
good luck getting any land now unless you got that thing called das kapital.
Lol you sound like a slave who's proud of licking boot
🤡
Wow so you're a clown too? Are you an attention seeking clown slave?
Does it feel good to behave like an edgy child? I bet it's one of the only ways you get dopamine
brain damage spotted
I hope for your sake you grow out of this cringy edgelord phase of your life, it's pathetic
