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! :'(
I don't think I've seen any other country whine this much about "public finances".
Usually Governments of the global south countries say they have to reduce deficits to please foreign investors and the IMF, not because the country is "broke".
Just pathetic.
but y-you have to present the countries financials like a household budget, that's how people understand it! and debt BAD!!! increased spending BAD!!! not like it would go bakc into the economy when well spent and encourage growth rather than restrict it no nono
