    We know. Glad a “report” has said it now though I guess.

    Now how do we make them do something about it?

      Historically, a bloody revolution normally does the trick.

        But surely if I vote for a different slate of captured politicians that will create great change

      Next time, vote for a party that wants to tax wealth, not work. Talk to anybody and everybody you can about taxing the ultra/uberrich. They are the biggest problem on the planet at the moment.

    I hope this doesn’t go the way of Peterloo. Though we might get another Charles Grey, which would be nice for once

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.
