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! :'(

So do not clear your cookie cache out? This is nothing to do with the EU. It is your personal choice. You can even use a VPN to make the internet view you as someone from another continent.
The EU did not implement this to make money, which is what you are implying when you say they are corrupt. They did it because there are scumbags out there, and they are abusing the data you give them when you view their site. There is a good reason to not give out your name and address when you go online, but if you are happy to do just that then there is a million and one ways to achieve it.
I used to clear my cookies on exit to prevent tracking. When the EU introduced its warnings about tracking I was forced to accept cookies to avoid the warnings, that's my point. The warnings achieve the opposite of their intended purpose. Besides which, sometimes you have to clear cookies for other reasons, or you might use a different browser or recreate your profile.
I wasn't implying anything with my corruption comment. I was just saying the EU is corrupt, because it is.
