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! :'(
Unfortunately, the current announced budget is designed to make pretty much everyone in the country much poorer by 2030
Yeah like MPs will ever listen to doctors.
The whole move to PIP was about removing the ability for a patients doctor to certify disability.
Amd 15 years of the cost increasing followed by a change in government. MPs still refuse to listen to doctors.
One doctor said that they had seen patients with two Victorian skin diseases, erysipelas and scabies, over the past three months.
My brother had scabies three decades ago.
That was during the other Victorian era, in the 1990s, named after "Posh Spice" Victoria Adams/Beckham from the Spice Girls.
Ah, Queen Victoria the Second.
So in the 90's, after Thatcher made the UK great again with conservatism?
That's the one - although I think the rot set in when she snatched our milk.
