To try and get more of a variety of topics discussed on here, and to stop multiple threads on the same topic, this thread is to be used to discuss UK politics from now on. Labour, Tories, Reform, Brexit, MPs expenses, it all goes here.

Maybe they can use the £1bn to give all the staff they sacked a couple of years ago their jobs back.

I don't understand this nickname. Just seems like something Farage and Tommy Ten Names started saying and others copied.
Policing has many tiers. Unless you want driving with a faulty headlight to be treated the same way as mass murder?

P & O pull £1b investment in UK. Non-story, not happening. You really are a sucker for right wing bullshit. Whatever happened to independent thinking? |

No mate, I would just like and I quote "swift justice" for all not just those deemed as "far right" A rallying call of "cut their throats" should be treated the same as any other person inciting violence. However it appears Ricky, as he is a Labour Councillor has been afforded time to prepare a defence, (something Chester should have done today by the sounds of it) time the other protesters were not allowed. Hence the two tier. |

Wouldn’t be ideal but could be worse. Millions of children could be plunged into poverty, millions using food banks.
Imagine that!

Perhaps you should try it. I wouldn't hesitate to call the EDL lot "loons" though. I think that's being kind actually - did you see the state of some of them? As for the Ricky Jones stuff, there's a difference between calling for violence against Muslims, asylum seekers and immigrants, and calling for violence against thugs. You had people setting fire to mosques, punching black people in the face and smashing up Asian-run shops, and then Ricky Jones calling for violence (in excessive language which I don't condone) against those people. It's not the same because one group is attacking people based on who they are - which veers into hate crime and arguably even terrorism, ironically - and another using excessive language against the perpetrators of those acts. |

If those standing against the rioters are going to be better than them, it shouldn’t matter or be a mitigation who the recipient of calls to murder are. Even if it is a bunch of violent racists. |

One man: I'm going to punch that man over there for being black. Another man: I'm going to punch that man for punching the black man. Neither man is in the right, but clearly there's a difference in severity between the two crimes, which is why we have "two tiers" as certain groups keep saying. |

Assault can be aggravated but there’s only one tier when it comes to murder, e.g. slitting throats |

He's that prick in Wetherspoons on the Friday night before Christmas. Has two pints and realises he's unhappy at being five foot four so tries to get in a fight with someone. Eventually, someone smacks him in the mouth and he acts like he's the victim, but even the police realise he's a twat who deserved it so arrest him anyway. Probably hasn't broken any laws but who cares?
