UK Politics
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! :'(

Cool. There are a lot of people in the UK that have no interest in doing anything for the UK. Will be good to make people more British.
There some long running families that contribute to defence, police or firefighting. Then there are others that have never contributed and just take.
I contribute plenty. I volunteer for several charities including AgeUK and a local food bank and I give blood.
Want to make it mandatory? piss off.
Good for you.
A lot of people aren't like you and I think the government should be doing more to get more out of the people. Things like happiness and wellbeing and safety is correlated with community and helping others.
Lots of this country has really gone to shit and could do with going to back to some of the ways in the past life was different.
Wasn't it a lovely WW2?!
