    So, in your opinion, the Prime Minister’s major focus should be head dogcatcher? You think a major speech on dogs, covered live, is not a distraction from things that will actually affect your life?

    Will tomorrow’s speech be on a car crash that happened today or a disease that a famous person dies of?

      No.

      I think he was under pressure for several days to Do Something in the face of a series of attacks and eventually had to.

      If there are a series of statistically unlikely car accidents involving out of control vehicles of a particular make and model and the government gets heat over it - yes, tomorrows speech might be on that.

        The UK seems like it’s run like a town hall.

        Yesterday Biden delivered a speech on the economy:

        https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-biden-delivers-remarks-on-the-economy-and-potential-government-shutdown

        Soon he’ll deliver a speech on threats to democracy:

        Nothing about dogs.

          Yeh. But on the other hand he seems to repeatedly have to give statements on mass shootings. It’s odd how different countries have different preoccupations when it comes to unnecessary violent deaths.

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.
