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! :'(
I mean of course, the Tories have clearly taken up the Republican playbook of making things a little better in the first year or two and if things are going south they’ll waste all the budget on useless shit, pass a bunch of unsustainable but populist policies and underfund police and social programs to such an extent that things like this happen.
Then you can easily blame all of the countries ills on the side in power when the next election rolls around.
Tories ARE far right. And often violent.
"A Conservative spokesperson said: “Rishi Sunak as prime minister made it clear that we must stand up to extremism in all its forms."
Whose slogan were they chanting, as they set fire to local shops and threw bricks and street furniture through hotel windows? I think it was "STOP THE BOATS! STOP THE BOATS!".
I wonder what horrible far-right hatemonger put that into their heads?
I hope Rishi is going to help us find the vile extremists who invented and promoted this "stop the boats" slogan.
Perhaps whoever they are could be shipped off to Rwanda, which, as a landlocked country, doesn't have much use for boats.
so didn't the media (every media org) and labour who continued the anti immigrant/migrant rhetoric
