    This might have more to do with where they built their shops & the target £ bracket for their goods than anything sinister as the headline suggests.

        I get the old adage: the older you get the more right you are. But, the richer?

          That’s definitely true as you would want to conserve the wealth that you currently have, which right wing policies usually help with.

            I’m not so sure about that. That framing hazardously to the stereotype that the right are fiscally responsible as opposed to the spend crazy left.

              I meant more in the sense that rich people usually get tax benefits and failing big businesses get bailouts.

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! :'(
