Imaging thinking that fining people who’ve got absolutely zero money in the first place is going to solve the issue

This is designed to appeal to their core vote base, who are largely morons, and isn’t intended to fix anything. With the local elections coming up, expect to see lots more moronic policies as they attempt to get the morons out to vote for them.

Exactly. They’ll tell their base that this is for the greater good.

Hang on, if they continue to privatise prisons so that the incarcerated are forever in debt for their keep and also provide a cheap labour force for more private companies then surely it’s a win-win for this government.

They maybe a ruthless, incompetent bunch of bastards but they won’t miss a business opportunity!

Time to get rid.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.
