General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

So, the only "hate" here was from the people opposed to a ceasefire! Time for Braverman to go.

Confusing strategy to make a claim that's so easy to prove wrong. Did you:

a) Not look at the actual police report, and either a.1) uncritically repeat a claim you saw on, I don't know, Stormfront, or a.2) make up a number?

b) Look at the police report, but hope by not providing a link to it that nobody would bother to check?

For clarity:

Counter-protesters made up the "vast majority" of 126 arrests made, police said, while nine officers were injured.

Those officers were injured on Whitehall as they prevented a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph while a remembrance service was taking place, he said.
