UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Very much agreed.
Also, the claim that PIP changes are about getting disabled into work.
PIP and its predecessor are not income based benefits. The vast majority of claimants are working.
Labour trying to label the cost as related to unemployability is such evil propaganda. It is about equality. Allowing disabled people to interact with society in anything close to an equal manner.
PIP is payable to billionaires that have disability issues. The fact that few if any exist is a sign of how fucking far from equal society is for disability.
Labour is working to create a false negative view of disability and the cost difference of actually existi9ng in society with disabilities. It is pure discrimination.
