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 don't think there should be taxes at all. Not in a current form.
Hang on, just getting my Libertarianism bingo card ready...
Ok, so are you a free man of the land or one of those who thinks we should be able to buy rocket launchers at Tesco?
Just don't ask them about the age of consent
Neither. Taxes should be nothing more than a subscription or an insurance. Taxes in the UK today are funneled straight into the pockets of Tory friends.
