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! :'(

A lot of the issues we have today stem from her privatisation and the north has never recovered. Her effect on the country has not stopped just because she's no longer PM and ultimately dead.
Yes, it's been so awful that no government has ever wanted to reverse it.
Which is why people are still angry
Well, a lot of the policy and austerities she set were "reversed" because they weren't sustainable. However, once you normalize a political ideology and set a precedent, it's hard to prevent it from happening again.
Why would a capitalist dictatorship reverse something that benefits the capitalist class?
