UK Politics
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! :'(

"including "large and instant fines" for passengers playing music on public transport"
I hope he means people playing music without headphones, otherwise I'll be screwed.
I do dislike people playing music or watching tiktok so I could get on board with this. Not sure how it would be enforced though.
What does an instant fine mean anyway?
Like they have to pay it on the bus they're not allowed to get off until they've paid the fine.
A lot of (all of what he's suggesting) is nice in principle but totally unenforceable.
Instead of fines, he'd do better to improve social respect and pride in your community at a young age such that you grow up considerate of other people you have to share a community with. But that will probably be decried as child abuse or something.
It's also funny that the tories are the party of small government so they'll likely outsource it to some poor sap from G4S or similar.
