UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This one mildly surprised me — possibly even more so than NIMBYs blocking solar farms and Green MPs opposing green infrastructure in their constituencies — given the industrial presence in Pembs that locals are pretty enthusiastic about. Our culture of Citizens Against Virtually Everything (CAVE) appears pretty pervasive though, and I really hope it's something we'll see tackled through this Parliamentary period.
I hope DARC gets rammed through regardless of such opposition, that we massively revamp the Town and Country Planning Act and Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, and that we become gradually more comfortable as a country with actually building and doing stuff from time to time.
