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 really hope they're serious about this and implement it well. Cycling and walking are great for your health, sanity and wallet. Also better for drivers if it leads to less congestion, pollution and slows degradation of road surfaces.
Agreed, it's such a no brainer and one where everyone wins.
I'm very sceptical of this new government and whether they'll actually do much (due to all the noises they're making about there being 'no money', and insistence on following all the Tories spending rules).
But I really hope they'll at least not be pushing the same anti-cycling culture-war BS of the last government.
I totally agree with everything you just said.
