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.

Reform UK has announced it would create an ICE-style agency to oversee the deportation of illegal migrants if it were in government.

Zia Yusuf, Reform's new home affairs spokesperson, said on Monday morning that a Reform government would establish a UK Deportation Command.

Its task would be to deliver "Operation Restoring Justice" to fulfil the party's plan of deporting 600,000 illegal migrants.

He also announced an overhaul of the Prevent counter-extremism programme to target "Islamist extremism", and said a Reform government would ban groups it deemed extremist.

Yusuf further said that new laws would stop the "incendiary" act of churches being converted into mosques.

I am all for this. Once built, the first people tossed into this new British gulag should include Zia Yusuf, his entire extended family and Kirsten Farage - Nigel's German wife. Oh and his kids . . as they are only "half brits".

In the second wave, we should use the electrical register to round up all the members of Reform UK itself. After the half-brits, next should be the half-wits.

And after that . . all the Brexit voters??

First they came for the Communists . . . (the /s should be obvious, but I'll include it just for clarity)

Had they came for the fascists first, people might quit posting that fucking quote endlessly.
