Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges ‘enemies of the people’.

I do wonder if they were really planning on sending that many there, or if this is all a simple grab of right wing votes.

Don’t get me wrong, ONE person sent there is a problem.

I think that’s been the running theory with most of what they’ve done in the last few years tbh. Bait anyone with an ounce of humanity into speaking out against something and then attempt to turn it into a ‘Loonie Lefty Lawyers’ sort of thing. Utterly cynical.

That is all it ever was. This so they could hide the rest of the stuff they are doing and nothing more.

They’ve definitely been planning on sending them there. That’s why they’ve been booking them in hotels instead of actually processing migrants and deporting or integrating them - they need a big stockpile of migrants to kickstart their new concentration camps.

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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
