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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

That's the whole point of the franchise system. The franchisees can basically only make money if they horrifically exploit people and the corporation can deny responsibility. This is not some aberration, this is how the system works.
Yep, the franchise is supposedly an independent business, except they can't choose suppliers, can't change the menu, can't change prices, can't do their own marketing, etc. The only variable they have any control over is basically personnel, so that's where they try to save as much money as possible.
