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! :'(

Why should we all have to work just to survive

where do you think your food comes from? Who build the room you sleep in?

with that being said, our labour is severely abused by the owner class as we barely get enough out of it to pay the bills.

Your debt to society is repaid very quickly while working a 40hr a week job

Every cost a regular person incurrs on society is paid back with roughly working 1/5th-1/4th of their life.

Instead we work until death and kids today will not be allowed to retire

Fuck you for being so easy to control

Lol no these idiots deserve to be chastised

We've coddled the idiots too long in the US and look where it's brought us, I'm done personally coddling idiots and fascists* in idiocracy for the sake of politeness

fasciats

?

You can chastise their ideas without insulting them. It makes you look like a crazy person. Do you want to change people's minds or simply shout at them?

And if you can't do that, well that's rather sad.

Thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake like a pedant, I'm on mobile.

We tried coddling fascists and all it does is validate their garbage beleifs, we're past trying to convince horrible people that they are horrible and are now at the stage where we have to protect ourselves and make sure the people who got us here never forget how they shit their own pants just to make us all smell it

If someone voted for Trump make sure they know how fucking dumb they are, and if they still whine wanting to be friends after voting to hurt you then tell them they were even dumber for thinking that was a possibility after taking actions to hurt you
