When I look at the people who think LTNs and 15-minute cities are an evil scheme to deny people their freedom... I think that the fear is real, but is mis-attributed to the schemes that would make their lives better, rather than placed on the shoulders of the increasingly fascist Tory government where it should be. Real fear, but afraid of the wrong thing. So of course the Tories benefit from making sure nobody realises who their real enemy is.

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! :'(

He's built it up piece by piece, so we didn't get the whole picture at once (also it may be a bit like boiling a frog, he's eased people into it) but it does feel like something out of the Trump playbook and really quite a desperate move.
That frog thing has been debunked, as soon as the water gets too hot they try to leave.
Can't even rely on the frogs these days.
