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.

BNP EDL groups like that.
The obvious answer is let them argue theor case.
But the issue is large % of citizens will outright object to such patients failing tax payer funding.
The easiest argument to this one is that we already have the far right in power. FPTP is showing to be too easy to manipulate. Add in that the corrupt buggers we have in the world are now seeing the far right movement as a means to rob countries. Money is actively chasing the far right, and sticking to FPTP means the next time we won't escape.
