General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I'd rather have 20 mph as the minimum speed limit
It's amazing the level of entitlement people suddenly have as soon as they sit in the driver's seat.
You’d think that driving is a god given right.
The idea that someone can fail their test 10 times, but get lucky once and then they’re allowed to drive is crazy.
Yeah people should have regular retests. Rules and best practices change over time as well.
Most people shouldn’t drive. The idea that a large portion of the population gets up and drives at the beginning and end of the day when they are most tired and the roads are busiest is pretty crazy. If only there was some sort of mass transportation system???
I passed mine first try, but I'm still not sure it's a wise idea to let me loose on the road
👍 If everyone has to keep their cars going above 20mph we wouldn't need so much parking everywhere.
Won't need so many nurseries or schools either. Actually, if you can't stop, how are you going to refuel? Maybe we won't need gas stations either.
Trash heaps are going to get big though.
