UK Politics
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! :'(

I've said this elsewhere but the main thing I'm uncomfortable about is the new legal precedent being set where there are two classes of adult being created. It doesn't seem right that one group of people over the age of 18 ought to have more legal rights than another.
That's not new legal precedent. Grandfather laws have been a thing for a while.
That's interesting - I always understood those as applying to businesses instead of individuals.
That's not new. Literally exists on laws for towing trailers depending on when your licence was obtained. My dad and I have the same type of driving licence, but he can tow trailers with his because it was gotten before 2000 or something
