General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

He claims the London Stock Market has too much governance rules.

He says the LSE should copy US market light rules. (In practice, no rules at all)

So, I decided to write to him.

How many of those other countries modelled their constitutions on the British?

Why are you so focused on the job for life rather than the job that they (used to) do of rejecting ridiculous bills and clauses?

These days the Lords and HoC don't carry out their functions but not for the reasons that you suggest. It's filled with useless fill-yer-boots cronies top to bottom, like that Bra woman and her PPI company or that twenty two year old that Boris elevated for no obvious reason or because she was a puppet.

I had qualifications in both LSE and the NYSE. I can tell you a normal person wasn't handicapped by the regulations in the US. However, with freedom does come responsibility for one's actions.

Thank-you kind person.
