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! :'(

Literally trying to do a genetic fallacy. Trust me it not Geneva_convenience who looks like the raving conspiracy theorist here.
The hoax isn't that there weren't gangs of people of South Asian decent participating in group-based child sexual exploitation, but that this was a phenomenon exclusive to/overrepresented by the South Asian community. The hoax is the picture the media painted in the public's eyes that 'rape gangs' (no legal definition of this either, BTW) were predominantly done by Muslim men.
You don't know what Geneva_convenience did or didn't mean. Unlike you, I didn't make any assumptions, I just asked them to clarify. They couldn't or didn't want to. Why you then came jumping in like a sad loser is anyone's guess.
If you want to talk about the subject of this post, then make a comment of your own. I'm not interested in discussing your assumptions about what some other person actually meant.
