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! :'(

You can support the legal challenge to stop Lutfur Rahman ripping out cycle lanes and pedestrian infrastructure by donating to the crowdfunder: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/save-our-safer-streets-in-tower-hamlets/?utm_campaign=claim_submission&utm_source=x

I'm intrigued, which part of the story are you saying that about?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry. I find it incredible that anyone would want to roll back the few modest advances towards a sensible, modern cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

Most likely the attempt to depedestrianise an area.

That was my thought, but it could also have been aimed at the people fighting against the depedestrianisation.
