UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I’ve never really understood this whole thing. There isn’t a vocal group saying we should keep all this stuff, I’ve never heard anyone arguing to keep it, even on the Daily Nail comments section. Why did the government put a law into place to stop museums giving stuff back? No one was asking for it.
While I'm pro giving it back, the article makes a good point about the Benin Bronzes being kept privately in the palace with no plan of them ever being displayed and refusing to even speak to existing museums. It's very sad.
It must be very difficult for the previous holders to know they are basically in some rich blokes bedroom now.
