UK Politics
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! :'(

Glad someone finally said that. And disgusted that those not wanting to think about it just down vote you.
She was wrong to say it. Because she is a public figure and should know it would be taken as an offensive remark by anyone experiencing racism.
But given the racist sexist crap see faces day in day out in public and on social media.
And her rapid apology. I can understand how her personnel feeling may get a little out of wak on the subject every now and then.
I am white so never experience it myself. I have seen it when my wife has been treated bad. Not in general only when folks didnt knew I was with her watching.
The folks that critisize her. Are really unlikely to recognise how much stress someone in her passion face day in day out. And really need to consider how little stress it take for them to make the odd unwise comment.
