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.

Having kids for many people is literally ticket into poverty.
At least plebs are voting with their wallets on this one.
In migration is then used to make up the difference since low fertility results in labour shortage and wage pressures. Owners are allergic to pay the anything above subsistence wage to vast majority of population.
Brain dead alt right wants to make it about race when it is really about class and nationality. Domestic population is less likely to take abuse so they get cut down via shite social policy.
Also, poor kids are a lot easier to fuck over since anglo society has a special disgust for the poors. At least in continental Europe they pretend to "care"
If you're not financially stable enough to have kids, you shouldn't have kids.
yeah but this attitude in any half way developed society will lead to population collapse within 2 generations without in migration etc
Maybe it will give governments the kick up the arse they need to sort out the country then.
Government is just the tool the for the rich and the rich made their position clear. Plebs are just in denial about it.
Social policy of western regimes speaks for itself. Extract surplus value of labour from domestic population, if they don't reproduce, import people to make the uo difference.
The answer is never to make life decent for the worker tho
