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.

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.
