United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

Guarantee he wasn't the only one
Absolutely guaranteed. As an institution, policing doesn't even see his behaviours as a problem.
From the article linked in that link, about their failure to investigate his prior offending: Ms Lee says the Met was also treating indecent exposure as a "low level" offence and that is why she was not asked to investigate immediately.
These are the bahaviours that escalate. They are the opportunity to stop sex offenders before they go on to commit more serious crimes. But the police treat it as an opportunity to tell sex cases that what they do is fine, boys will be boys, nothing see here.
Dismissing indecent exposure as ‘flashing’ led to the murder of Sarah Everard
Sack the lot of them. If they weren't actively contributing to these attitudes they were failing to challenge them. The only coppers not complicit in this are the ones that got hounded out of the job because they tried to challenge it.
