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)

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.

Trans women must be barred from female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams, new official guidance is to state.

Bridget Phillipson is expected to confirm on Thursday that official guidance will state what businesses and public bodies must do under the law to protect single-sex spaces.

The guidance follows last year’s Supreme Court judgment that trans women, who were born male, are not legally women for the purposes of the Equality Act.

Allowing immigrants to work whilst waiting for a formal decision. Let them earn money and pay tax.

Housing dangerous asylum seekers in detention facilities and providing suitable accommodation for ones who aren't.

Investing more money on border control to speed up decision making.

Those were the three that stood out off the top of my head.

First point makes no sense. Can you share the Green Party policy for that? Interested to learn more.

Link to the one about open borders. Why should any illegal migrant get work, that's nuts.

I bet you looked so hard for your made up policies on dangerous asylum seekers. Hilarious.

There isn't one about open borders

Their idea is that immigrants, whilst waiting for a decision which can take months/years should be allowed to work.

The current situation - they get given benefits. Meanwhile farms etc have huge shortages of labour but they cannot legally employ asylum seekers.

Personally I'd prefer they worked, got paid and paid for their own food/accommodations.

And go look yourself, their site isnt hard to navigate.
