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.

There is a lot of fraud in general, looks like the majority was due to Revolut’s “virtual cards” which is a new attack vector for fraudsters, and their newness means customers can get confused into falling victim.

The lack of FSCS protection and their attempts to shirk responsibility when fraud occurs is not great, especially when being scrutinised to assess their suitability for a banking licence.
