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! :'(

She needs to clamp down on greedy holiday companies and what have you changing their prices by £1000 from one week to the next then.
Not really sure how that's in the government remit. I would love it if they could do that but I'm not sure how they can do it legally.
I think you'll find that the pricing is controlled by the airlines and hotels. The holiday companies are just aggregators. And if the prices are capped, you'll get a black market and a proliferation of hidden fees to work around the caps.
Anyway, not having small kids anymore, I like being able to travel at off-peak prices. And as an added minor benefit, there aren't so many confused families clogging up the security queues at the airports.
OK, clamp down on airlines and hotels then.
I agree going off peak - I'm of an age where I can ;-) It's wonderful not having noisy kids around.
Don't fly anymore though - too much sodding about at airports and hidden charges. A van at a Haven site (Hopton) outside of school holidays does us nicely.
