UK Politics
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! :'(

She also got sent a picture and said someone was racist towards her. Must be true then. She is a Tory, they never lie for their own benefit.
Precisely why we should spend police budgeting on an investigation. It is not unusual for some people to push their ethnicity and a victimisation claim to garner votes. If there is malice behind it, then she deserves protection. This is a potential MP after all. But if it is a narrative just to gain votes that she would not get, then that also should be known.
I think it is fair to question it since she is resorting to the BBC media to push a storyline.
I am with you on that one. I am also disappointed by the BBC.
