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.

This is great, glad it's finally happened.
Over the years there's been a load of places in Newcastle that have been there for years, some new flats get built, and some dickhead complains to the council and won't let it drop until the place is shut down.
On the flip side quiet village pub gets taken over by new owner, installs outdoor speakers, becomes a sports bar, blasts music out every Thursday Friday and Saturday until midnight or later. Doesn't have air-conditioning so doors get left open making noise worse. Council won't do shit because of budget cuts
That literally isn't what this protects though.
Yes but just like the online safety act, it will be too broad and not specific enough, and it will get applied in places it wasn't intended
