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.

I've also seen the videos and you would be the moron to come to the conclusion that multiple supposedly highly trained officers booting a pinned and tasered assailant in the head repeatedly is professional or appropriate conduct.
It's a knife, a weapon which humans have known how to deal with since time immemorial, not an AR-15. Strathclyde Police (when they were a thing) used to go around the country training other police forces in how to deal with knife crime without resorting to brutality. But apparently that's too difficult for the people that wear stab proof vests, have batons, tasers, pepper spray, and multiple other officers backing them up... You really need to stop living up to your name.
Obviously I forgot the third option; you believe stabbing random Jewish people in the street is ok.
obviously not - yet stabbing a Muslim man in his home is so fine it barely gets reported?
You've certainly forgotten the third victim.
Wow this was a weak response. Stop playing the cultural war.
Aww, is BigBaby unable to refute my argument and instead has to resort to ridiculous accusations?
Always be accusing is the tactic of the idiot far right after all.
Maybe you enjoy watching videos of men in big boots kicking people's heads in a bit too much...
Hmm interesting you haven't denied it.
I've given full frank and unbiased responses to your other threads pointing out what any reasonable person would understand the circumstances and engaged in good faith but that was before I saw your post history.
Based on that I firmly believe you are driven by your hatred for the victims (who as I write this are still recovering in hospital) not the wellbeing of the attacker (who was discharged from hospital shortly after the event).
I hope you grow up soon.
All your responses are heavily biased lol
Yes objective truth (saying what is in the video) backed up with evidence (the video) can be biased depending on your perspective.
I prefer a rather simplistic view that killing people is bad and stopping someone from killing people is good.
It is not objective truth. The object truth is:
The video shows two officers repeatedly kicking a prone individual in the head and a third officer arriving on scene.
Objectively that's not a good look. Seems like brutality to me especially because police training when dealing with a knife wielding individual explicitly tells you to not close the distance between you. So by your own logic you vomit. They're expressing poor training and kicking a prone individual in the head who, to me, appears unconscious before even the first kick but definitely at least dazed after the second.
So objectively you're fucking wrong bonehead bozo. Just cause you can use words doesn't mean you're right. It's not objective truth .
This is not Frank or unbiased. This is pissy baby made boom boom and cries when people tell him he's wrong. Objectively you're being a dumb wimp.
Interesting you haven't denied being a BigBaby...
K.
If you read op history you would come to the same conclusion.
