This government’s stupid criminalisation of peaceful protestors is a hole they keep on digging

    I hope the UK police are ashamed of themselves…. Probably not.

      They are!

      There aren’t enough of us. Hard-working police officers are continually having days off cancelled, working longer shifts and being moved from other areas to facilitate these protests.

      Our concentration should be on keeping people safe at a time when the country is on heightened alert from a terrorist attack. We are emotionally and physically exhausted. What are politicians and senior police officers going to do about it?

      Something makes me think that they will displace their anger towards the cardboard-wielding “terrorists”, not their bosses and politicians for making them arrest people for writing 4 words on cardboard.

        Their union should be balloting for strike action at this work. Some might be ashamed, but clearly not enough of them

    You can do all the 1984 stuff you want for Israel and liberals won’t bat an eye.

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.
