UK Politics
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! :'(

It can't be this hard to catch them, try them with video evidence, and fine the fuck out of them can it?
I'd imagine it's criminal damage with reckeless endangerment, which can carry a custodial sentence.
Regardless of the specific offence, it wouldn't be hard to find them and prosecute in normal times, but with the police on austerity budgets still and politicians tacitly supporting this kind of thing, it might be harder than it should be.
Not to mention the unauthorized possession, manufacture, and use of an explosive device. Whoever did this 100% belongs in prison.
