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.
And the rest hide that they’re landlords by putting the houses under their partners name.
Or run them through offshore companies.
I wouldn't call that exactly hiding.... it's like me saying I am hidden behind a tree...unless is a baobab or an old big as fuck tree that ain't happening.

And I thought I was being overly cynical
I'm just supprised that numbers not higher
Honestly, I'm surprised the other two-thirds aren't too. What do they have to benefit from being parasites on society.
Surprise surprise.
I guess the headline "majority of Tories opposing bill are not landlords" wouldn't have the same ring to it.
