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.
Wowwww.
Mary-Ann Stephenson, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, is a fucking scumbag. Never heard of them before but holy fuck, what a piece of shit fascist bigot
IIUC, it’s not so simple: her hands are tied due to For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers.
You may have overlooked it, but in the middle of the interview she recommended gender-neutral (unisex) toilets as the best solution all round. That’s what Greggs and Costa and dozens of other organisations already provide. If more of the UK follows suit, that would actually be a small but valuable victory against anti-trans discrimination.
