General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.
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.
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.
We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

The problem is that they change the topics to tax more behaviors. It starts out as a carbon tax on big trucks, then they add a tobacco tax, then a vape tax, then an alcohol tax, then a bar tax, then a restaurant tax, then a soda tax, then a streaming video tax... Whenever they want more money they demonize a new behavior.
