UK Politics
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.

In a lot of the online discourse about this people seem to be missing the point alcohol isn't banned in stadiums, people can and do drink as much as they want already, you're just not allowed to drink within view of the pitch. If anything the current law is encouraging people to binge drink before the game and at half time. Problem drinkers will still be problem drinkers either way. The biggest scourge I've witnessed is the insane amount of people doing coke in the toilets. There needs to be more enforcement of that to prevent coked up meatheads rampaging around.
