alt Hacker NewsI wonder how many people are actually from the UK on these threads. There is always comments about "diversity" and "grooming rape gangs" and how everything labour do is bad, or about how the UK is an oppressive regime or somehow fundamentally anti-freedom. This always reads like fear mongering / Russian psy-ops propaganda to me.
I have many bones to pick with the UK government but a large number of people sprinting to these talking points at every chance they get is highly suspicious to me.
Me.
The Grooming Rape Gangs and their cover-up was absolutely appalling.
I don't think the UK has hit US-level of extremes in terms of DEI for hiring etc, but I think it is undeniable that there is two tier policing in place - EG the banning of Maccabee fans from the Aston Villa game.
I think the fact that people are getting prison sentences for tweets/facebook posts is very, very bad. I don't think this is just Labour though - I think the Wet Tories were just as bad in terms of freedom of speech.
