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! :'(

This is so absurd. If water availability is a limiting factor then why the hell would you build it in the south. Scotland and the North get plenty of rainfall, and there's an abundance of reservoirs.
Kielder is the largest reservoir by volume in Europe. It was built to supply industry in the North East. That industry no longer exists so the reservoir has a ridiculous excess capacity. So why not build the damn datacenter close to Newcastle.
But how would that continue to centralise power in the south east!?
Imagine if AI took on the accent and stereotypical behaviours of where it's data centres were located.
