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! :'(
The pound is not just a currency, it’s a symbol of British sovereignty and independence. Will the UK be willing to trade the queen’s face on their banknotes for Euro symbols?
It'll be the King's face by then.
I mean Sweden joined in the 90s and still has their krona
I swear this guy comes out of the woodwork every two to three months, says something unhelpful to the wider Labour movement and then goes into hiding once again.
Look, what he did with Government in the 90s? Huge...but maybe it's time Tony got put out to pasture.
Not anytime soon. Brexiters still blame the gov for not doing it right.
They still think 3 years of failing to negotiate a decent deal. Was the fault of to loud remainers encoraging the EU that we would quit if they were tough on us. Unfortunately any attempt to rejoin will face the same lies and bull the referendum did.
Any willingness the EU shows to allow even minimal acceptance of our previous benefits. Will encourage them to fight for the same bull they wanted before. All the advantages non of the costs.
We could have had EFTA, but after the referendum the media only focussed on the extremists from both sides. The Leavers who wanted to leave absolutely everything, and the Remainers who just cried about the result and demanded a second referendum.
Meanwhile the sensible majority, who were somewhere in the middle of those two extremes didn't get a look in. So we ended up with a bit of nothing.
That, unfortunately, is how both sides want it. Those pro EU and those anti, neither want to compromise. The papers simply provide them with kindling.
No. Says EU.
Having to adopt the Euro might put paid to that idea.
Zero chance they rejoin without being granted the same exceptions they had previously, and equally zero chance of the EU allowing that to happen. Ya done fucked yourselves, UK.
Never wanted the exceptions to begin with, that was David Cameron's thing.
Can tony blair just please fuck off.
