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! :'(

"Why can't I just sit at home and do nothing and get taxpayers to fund my laziness?"
What a low-energy take 😂
Yes, in the socialist utopia, money clouds would rain cash on us all and no one would have to contribute anything to society.
Yes, they shouldn't have to. Bad societies are created solely with punishments, good societies give back as much as they received from the individuals.
I'd say only scaredy cats can be controlled via punishment. Being homeless is both a punishment and a warning to others.
