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! :'(

Do you have any source for this? From what I read of her, it seems she's criticized Labour for what she perceives as antisemitism. (Edit: She's also very transphobic though, apparently; that sucks, but it still has nothing to do with Holocaust denial. Edit 2: okay yes it does. What the fuck.)
it was pretty much linked with transphobia when she was agreeing with someone who said trans people weren't targetted in the holocaust

Jewish people were targeted in the Holocaust. The Nazis didn't care about anything else.
You have to understand that not everything is about you.
I mean, they did target other people.
Not seeing trans in there. Funny that.
???
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Not well read are you
Ah, yup, that'll do it.
What the fuck, Rosie.
Katy is one of those hardcore trans activists who think that literally everyone wants them dead.
~~So I'm not understanding specifically what she said that's problematic in relation to the Holocaust? Did she say that trans people were killed during the Holocaust? Because that was a real, actual, systematic component of the Holocaust; saying that would be the opposite of denial.~~
~~Also, hardcore in what way? What's wrong with being pro-human rights in a "hardcore" way, however you're defining that? And where did she say everyone wants trans people dead? And again what does that have to do with the Holocaust?~~
Wait, I read this as Rosie. Who's Katy?
What Katy is saying is that she thinks Duffield's views on women's rights and trans issues is equivalent to the Holocaust.
Perfectly sane person.
Wait, who's Katy in this scenario? I read this as "Rosie" initially, because I couldn't think of anyone named Katy related to this and so my brain autocorrected.
Katy is the person whose comment you replied to.
My experience of Katy is an incredibly intelligent and balanced person. I can't speak to their history of antisemitism or trans activism one way or another though.
