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.

Agreed. But let's ensure we get the wording correct.
Tax wealth income equally.
Because just saying tax the rich. Allows the rich to claim we want to increase higher income taxes. Leaving the left arguing with people who should be on our side.
They do this intentionally to divert the argument from real wealth. Because they know their arguments against taxing wealth fall down when openly challenged. So using higher income earners to distract the argument. Saves them defending their real income source.
