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! :'(

I'm not an accountant or auditor, but if this was a person rather than a business, they'd be going to jail

It’s as if the rules are different if you’re rich.

When you're rich, you make your own rules. Laws are to protect the rich from the dirty poors, not the other way around!

Forgot about that. As a poor I should know that we are awful.

if this was a person rather than a business,

Not disagreeing with your point.

But when you take the idea into consideration.

This is a business creating a valueless business, then applying artificial value to increase assets So fraud.

Now your version. A person creates a person. Well not uncommon. But well, everything from there really sounds dodgy.

It really is not possible to remove the business and be talking about the same thing. And its hard to argue it would not be worse.

But yeah, I'm sorta having fun with the words. If a poor/working class human tried to increase assets via fraud. They would be spending time at his majesty pleasure.
