Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

more likely to fail to compare a photo ID to the person presenting that document if the person is of a different ethnicity

Wait, are they saying if someone is a different ethnicity they are more likely to not check if the ID matches?

That's how it reads to me but I don't think it's the intention?

I think it means they're less likely to be able to identify that the ID photo is the same person as the one standing in front of them. It's the other-race effect, which I understand is quite natural for people of all races that have less experience with other races.

Yeah, that's what I assumed it was supposed to mean, but it really doesn't read that way to me.
