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! :'(

Religious Studies should be abolished and replaced with Cultural Studies that looks at a wide variety of different cultures to provide a rounded look at the world without digging deep into any one particular religion.
In my middle school RS lessons and homework was always rewriting bible stories. The school had no religious affiliation so I have no idea how that teacher got away with focusing solely on christianity.
My senior school wasn't specifically religious but it had was linked to and made us of a christian building. And RS was taught by a reverend but it was a lot more balanced covering Islam and Hinduism too. Regardless I was very happy they weren't ridiculous enough to force RS as a GCSE subject.
