Round here in the East Midlands it's Reform and their troglodyte followers doing it.

Whinging they can't fly flags (they can). Whinging that we're being overrun with boat people (we're not, but the asylum system needs a serious rejig so people don't have to travel half the world to do it, and so we don't have to house them in shithole towns while we think about it).

On the one hand it's kind of fascinating watching 1930s Germany playing out in real time, seeing people falling for the same old bollocks. I just wish I was watching from afar rather than being in the middle of it.

I lived in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire up until a few years ago. Of the dozen-plus places I've lived around England, I've never, ever, ever lived anywhere worse than Ashfield. I've lived in poorer areas, areas with higher crime rates, areas with less greenery - fuck, areas that are all three of those things - but I've never encoutered a population as vile and beligerent as the regressive, inbred cretins of that area. I wasn't at all surprised when they fell for Reform's fairytales at the last election.

I bet the tattoo to tooth ratio is particularly high in that lot

With the help of the media egging them on.

Well then go on and protest your government meddling in other countries affairs and support of war in middle east too. It is way more costly then sheltering immigrants.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

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.
