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! :'(

Isn't the law that you can only do it until the baby can survive outside of the womb? Which is around 20 weeks. Sounds pretty reasonable.

It is perfectly reasonable.

But abortion is a big issue in the US and the UK media love to import US debate topics and try to make them relevant here.

BLM and ACAB were a similar thing. Yes, we do have our own problems here, especially in the MET Police, but it's less of a systemic thing and moreso isolated incidents.
