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! :'(

It was literally just because they didn't want their MPs to get involved in a situation that might've turned violent. Can you imagine if any organisation had said, 'Yes, we want to oblige our staff to go and maybe get their heads kicked in by Nazis'?
Liberals always have a magical excuse to not do the right thing, I'm sure this was all about "safety concerns for their staff".
It's obviously not 'the right thing' to put MPs in danger. It really is not that long ago that one of these thugs murdered a Labour MP.
I'm not a liberal, incidentally, but it's probably not the greatest idea for the left to adopt the language of American fascists. Reading the rest of your contributions to this thread, it's clearly not the only thing you've decided the fascists are right about, though.
