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! :'(

Yes, which is why around 150 people on the main march were arrested for either that or vocal supprt for Hamas
The 150 arrests were mostly Tory party sympathisers, who came out after the home secretary's kind words about the homeless, immigrants, and Palestinians.
This is bollocks and you know it is.
Which bit were you objecting to?
The likes of Tommy Robinson and his far-right goons are not sympathetic to the Conservative Party. You think they like having a brown man as Prime Minister?
And it's fairly obvious that pro-Palestine marchers are not Conservative voters either.
Ok yeah, I won't say no to that... My wording was more directed to Braverman's pro right wing stance. But you are right on that point.
They only came out because braverman started talking smack about the protests. They've been going on for weeks already with no issue but suddenly. Now she gets involved and suddenly the EDL turns up. 🤔
She's a right-wing mouthpiece and they are right wing hate groups, the two are linked.
what parallel universe did you come from, and do you need any help getting back there?
The parallel universe where you look at the police reports on who was arrested
Confusing strategy to make a claim that's so easy to prove wrong. Did you:
a) Not look at the actual police report, and either a.1) uncritically repeat a claim you saw on, I don't know, Stormfront, or a.2) make up a number?
b) Look at the police report, but hope by not providing a link to it that nobody would bother to check?
For clarity:
Indeed.
OP seemed to be suggesting that the only hate was from the far-right agitators.
