General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.

This is so very wrong and will lead to a slippery slope similar to how the police operate in the US. You cannot allow police to work with a license to kill without any review process. Braverman is not the be all and end of the justice system. She should not be allowed to circumvent judicial process.

My opinion of those 70 officers is thankyou for being honest. You feel you cannot work with being subjected to reviews on such an important issue, then it is right you should not do so.

Credit to Phil Moorhouse as his was the original post I saw.

officers must not fear 'ending up in the dock'

No. Officers must definitely fear ending up in the dock.

Anything Cruella Braverman says can be discounted as viciousness signalling. She is essentially a wasp in humanoid form.

Braverman can do one. She and the Tories have shown nothing but utter contempt for the police ever since they’ve been in government.

Should there be a review of every fatal police incident? Absolutely. Do I trust Braverman to do right by the police or the public? Definitely not.

Does Suella Braverman knows that the US exists? We can see there very, very often how it looks like when police has no accountability. It leads to a fat, corrupt police body and loss in trust into law enforcement and ultimately riots and discord among communities.

The Tories have very close links with the Republicans in the US. They know exactly what they are doing.
