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.

Even by their own admission they are useless. They fully acknowledge that they broke the rules on multiple occasions but they did nothing about it, and now they're considering maybe, possibly, doing something about it.
They're not definitely going to do anything about it. The best they are prepared to agree to, is that they will consider doing something about it.
Wow thanks guys. All the time you are considering whether the people who definitely broke the rules need to be punished for definitely breaking the rules, they'll continue to break the rules. Just sanction them now, what have you got to consider?
Cost. Austerity really means the department cannot afford to fight a case.
And you know GB will fund a legal complaint.
