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.

The main issue with food in the UK is that it is unusually cheap compared to the rest of Europe. And Brits will fight tooth and nail against price growth. Realistically, food prices should increase 1.5-2 times overnight without salary increases That will help farmers to cover their expenses and better prepare for bad weather and will reduce food waste. Or Britain should switch to the US model and start eating chlorinated shit and completely destroy the British environment.
