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! :'(

Wake me up when the first board member is actually in prison.

Technically that would mean it has failed.

I'm sure it will. But having to arrest the little shits proves the threat of jail failed to change their actions.

Campaign group River Action welcomed the new measures but said they would only be effective if they were used. "Without delivering actual prison sentences, it's just theatre," chief executive James Wallace said. "If the government is serious let's see real jail time, not just headlines." Consumers were currently "paying the price for regulatory failure and corporate greed", he said, and called for an end to the "failed privatisation experiment".

USA is no longer a superpower. No need to be intimidated into following up our money>* horrible example.
