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

Why have a cap at all?
Why subsidize breeding fetishes?
To call starting a family a "breeding fetish" is disgusting and deranged
Ok, freak, keep it in your pants
Enjoy rotting away when you're elderly, lonely and nobody cares about you or takes care of you. Your skeleton would probably be found by a bailiff months after your death who's only purpose of visit is to collect money off of you for your unpaid bills.
While the fetish freak is lacking any valid opinion. Responding to evolutionary developed will to procreate is the opposite of a fetish.
In 2025 raising children to avoid loneliness. Is pretty close to slavery. We literally had a history in the west. Of the youngest daughter only existing to care for parents as they aged and died. And modern refusal to support elderly care. Really is society trying to enslave the young into responsibility for their parents over taxing the wealthier to provide such care.
Honestly the choice of parenthood should be left to those that feel most able to dedicate a significant portion of their lives to raising future citizens. While avoiding shaming those who feel less able into feeling forced to raise children.
Ah, you're not a sex freak, you just want slaves, gotcha
