UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Who the fuck is asking for this? Literally nobody, the government is just doing whatever they want at this point
Nobody is asking for it, but that's not the purpose: the purpose is to stir up opposition.
I suspect a significant portion of the population will be indifferent to the proposal. At best, they'll shrug and say, 'Sure, makes sense if that's what's needed,' without bothering to think it through fully.
More liberally minded people react with justified opposition to the proposal. At that point, the Conservatives will rally the indifferent against 'the woke'. They hope to gain support by convincing people they have a common enemy.
What the Conservatives hope to do is call anyone who opposes this a paedophile.
I mean I already call the Tories nonces
MP means Mega Paedophile. If you sit on a green seat, then to children you beat your me-
Other occupations are of course also available, such as religious leaders and children's TV personalities.
And School teachers
