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.

Why are they strip searching kids and why are they doing it in public?
Because it's about dehumanizing and terrorizing marginalized groups. That's it. No other reason.
Also cops are usually republicans and republicans are pedophiles
This is in the UK mate
In the UK too the coppers tend to be rightwing (not just the "mild" Far-Right Tory but actually the extreme Far -Right Reform) and judging by all the Brits that were involved with the Epstein, the pedophilia thing might also apply.
Certainly in my personal experience they mainly act as willful minions of the very rich and are very Racist.
Oh absolutely. Was just pointing out "Republican " doesn't fit in this context.
Same reason they kept intimidating anyone who spoke out about Saville.
Because sometimes kids carry illegal shit, and because they're fuckers, respectively.
I thought you were saying kids are fuckers but then reread and think you mean the cops doing strip searches. You can pat someone down and empty pockets to see what someone is carrying. Strip searches impose an unnecessary burden on people. Forcing someone to be naked in public seems like a disservice to everyone.
Yeah I mean the police.
Sometimes people hide stuff in their arsecrack and you won't find that with a pat down. And because gang leaders are also fuckers, they'll get kids to do that too.
There is never any reason to do it in public. British police also should not force someone undergoing a strip search to be naked at any point,.in public or otherwise; they should put their top back on before taking bottoms off.
