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! :'(
All that money from pushing most employed workers salaries down to as close to minimum wage as they can get away with has to end up somewhere.
Yeah but guys, you've got to remember, money doesn't grow on trees.
So despite me owning multiple properties, owning so much land I must employ people to maintain it for me, and owning multiple cars that are worth more than you earn in an entire year, you have to remember it's the immigrants that are making everyone poorer.
Look! They dress and look slightly different from you, therefore it must be them at fault. Ignore that they're here because their country is currently going through war/genocide/famine/mass poverty, they're different!
What do you mean you want me to pay 2% more tax per year? Fuck off you communist scum!

You have to feel sorry for them, though. Those guys are just asset rich and cash poor... that's why the UK needs to not tax them so much and, instead, cut the benefits of those sponging disabled and poor who don't own anything. Those guys are the wealth creators (even though they actually suck the wealth out if everyone else's lives). Just feel so sorry for them.
You mean you want to tax me on unrealized gains and assets? Totally unfair, even though I can leverage loans off them and then pay myself with the loan to reduce/avoid taxes.
The answer is increasingly progressive tax on ANY income (including investment income, capital gains etc) rather than different rates of tax to different income streams.
The answer is abolish the monarchy and socialize the aristocracy’s land ownership.
Eat The Rich!
Are these families being named?
