Yeah, that includes Christmas then
I agree, but they should also ban Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh public worship. They should also ban Jehova's Witnesses, Mormons and other sects from preaching on doorsteps and everyone from preaching on street corners.
This kind of Islamic exceptionism, where Muslims can't do the very things that other denominations are allowed to freely partake in is literal racism and people like Farage are the ones who should be banned from speaking in public.
Freedom of assembly is covered in many international treaties but I've been told on several occasions by judges that it is a "qualified right" (IE if we don't like you then fuck you, no rights)
I agree! Ban them all. Religion is a cancer.
UK Politics
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.
