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! :'(

You only get fined for unauthorised absence. If you can convince the headmaster to sign off on it your ok. I suspect it's an easier argument if your kids are doing well at school and there is some benefits to the trip other than it's cheaper.

Also, it's easier if your child already has good attendance. Miss every other Friday already, your holiday to manage is not being authorised, have 100% attendance, then your two days trip to visit Santa in Lapland is going to be approved
