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! :'(

What if you work weekends?
Also where does the other day come from?
Is a weekend 2 days and 2 hours?
Because doctors, nurses, firefighters and police have plenty of spare time to train and supervise uninterested and untrained 18 year olds.
Oh they won't be doing the training. Some MP's mate with a consulting company will do that for cheep... promise!
Wasn't there a "police explorers" program in the US - which resulted in exactly what you would expect to happen when you give policemen access to teenage girls?
