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! :'(

She's representing her constituents. You know, like an MP is supposed to.
The hotel was set on fire last night, can you not see how pandering to far-right constituents can be dangerous?
Highlighting that our asylum system is broken and really needs sorting out so we don't need to use hotels to house asylum seekers is not pandering to the far-right.
It's actually Labour policy.
You can do that without saying that the local hotel has been taken away from locals by asylum seekers, and that it needs to be 'given back'. The rhetoric is clearly inflammatory.
You are clearly rephrasing this to manufacture dissent.
Saying that a local hotel has been taken away from locals for asylum seekers and needs to be returned is just trying to get the government to talk about what the long term solution is. We are longer ruled by Tories, so the standard can improve.
