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! :'(

Literally all of these things are because of his governments decision to cut funding from everything.
People riding bikes on the pavement because there are no safe bike lanes for them to be in, either because there are no bike lanes at all, or because there are cars parked in the bike lanes because the law is not enforced.
Pavements get replaced with tarmac because local councils don't have money to do it properly.
There's a huge amount of litter on the streets because local councils don't have the money to clean it up and also because there's no bins anymore.
There's so much graffiti everywhere because there's no police. There is police because there's no funding.
