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! :'(

Given that there are asylum seekers who pretend to convert to another religion to try and get asylum, is it really that much a stretch to suggest that some others will try to game the system in another way?
I know this is Lemmy and we're all supposed to pretend that every asylum seeker is a good and honest person, but that's not how reality works.
Your justification for your hard right extremist attitude notwithstanding I noticed you have not actually provided evidence. I find this highly suspicious of your personal belief system. Your personal belief system being one that has a tendency to make people pariah's without much in the way of logic or discourse.
So I again ask for you to provide some evidence.
I interestingly note that since you weren't the person who originally made the comment you have waded into this argument with an uninformed and quite frankly abhorrent opinion without any defense.
Do you remember that guy who committed an acid attack in London and then killed himself? He faked a conversion to Christianity so he could get asylum.
Do you remember the Liverpool Women's Hospital bomber a while ago? He also faked a conversion to Christianity so he could be granted asylum.
Both of these were refused asylum before. Why do you think they suddenly found a love of Jesus?
Right and what about all of the terrorist attacks that were committed by British nationals?
What about them?
Sure people will try and game the system, does that mean everybody is and we should fuck then all over?
Based on this thread can I make the connection that everybody here is a fucking idiot, or do I just assume you and the other dude are the idiots here because that’s all we have evidence of.
My fellow brits are known for being beer louts around Europe, does that mean all of Britain is that way? Of course it doesn’t.
