UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

So hang on, this is an official labour inquiry which came to the exact conclusion that Diane Abbott was suspended for a year later? It has to be deliberate at this point.
Diane Abbott was suspended for stating non black race did not suffer the same as black.
While I don't disagree with her. Although her wording was politically incompetent.
How is it the same as this report that identified the racism but in no way compare s it to other forms of racism.
Edit: to be clear. Dispite criticism of her here. I have huge respect for Diane Abbott. And when you compare the publics response to some of her mistakes. To that of very similar or identical mistakes from white male politicarians. There is clearly a difference beyond political opinion.
Diane has been attacked on social media and real media for things that fly past when other politicarians make equally bad errors.
Diane Abbott was suspended:
Abbott was talking about it in general whereas the report was talking about it specifically within the labour party.
