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.

Pretending a guy who was born and raised in India would only have a support network in the UK is insane… unless they’re saying Indians are heartless monsters?? Super weird logic going on there.
According to the article, he has spent the last four years living in the UK, so it's not that unreasonable to expect that's where his support network is.
Four years vs twenty two years in India, where his family, and hers are actually from.
This is just an excuse and a lame one at that.

Yes, plus if we didn't want Indians moving to the UK, we shouldn't have colonized them.
Completely irrelevant bait.
