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.
God I’m enjoying his downfall
Why? He's a fucking pedo who's going to enjoy free housing for the rest of his life. All he lost is pointless titles and a bit of dignity - as if he had any dignity left to spare.
I'll enjoy his downfall when he gets questioned by the police, put on trial and thrown in jail.
I totally agree this isnt remotely enough, he should be in jail for the foreseeable future. He's a narcisstic twat so losing his titles, dignity and last shreds of power will REALLY matter to him, and it's more than I thought he'd ever suffer. Life behind bars is what he deserves though and it's awful he isn't getting that
He isn't getting that because there isn't really evidence he knowingly committed a crime. What he did was awful but there's only so much you can do within a court of law. Some suspect that he's also a scapegoat being used the people who did know full well what was going on (like a certain US president)
He wouldn't get life even if he were a poor randomer and convicted of his crimes. Maybe 2 years suspended.
True he wouldn't get much but for rape he'd get longer than 2 years suspended. Assuming it was proven that he knew she was trafficked and therefore couldn't consent, he'd need to do jail.
I mean, the said that he is "enjoying his downfall" in which a downfall might not be over yet. You might still get your wish! :D
I wonder if Charles III was waiting all this time for an excuse to do this tbh
Hey, at least there's a stripper Andy.
