I do find it very strange how few systems are built based on outcomes. Brutalising people doesn't result in less crime, it's just spending millions to make the problem worse.
Woke prisons? Fresh meat to the Tories, Reform and neo-Rightists! "Bring back the birch and National Service!" we'll hear.
Yeah, let's just ignore what's actually good for the kids. What matters is appearing as close to our political enemies as possible.
Fucking honestly.
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.
