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! :'(

I'm not saying he should have to, but is there a reason he can't just submit, "video evidence"

Was there ever a hetero person seeking asylum that had to give their sex tape to a shitty official?

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 7 points 1 month ago

I don't think heterosexuals are persecuted anywhere, that's not a valid equivalence. Not that I find the idea of making porn to prove your sexual orientation morally fine.

I mean probably yeah.

Hence the "I’m not saying he should have to". To clarify, I'm asking if there's some rule or law of evidence that prevents someone doing that.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, the basic laws for privacy.
