I think HS2 money should be used to put JRM on a one way trip to the sun.

Inheritance tax is the only fair tax along with property tax. The money from scrapping HS2 should be spent on decreasing income tax so you reward working people and not people who inherit their wealth.

So scrap chances of eceonomic growth for The North in favour of tax breaks for the rich? Sounds perfectly Tory for me. Do people up there still vote for those cunts?

Majority don’t. But we have FPTP and they don’t all vote for the same alternative.

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! :'(
