UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Yeah, there's a lot of concern about nail bars and car washes - it's possible some working there are under a kind of indentured servitude or just plain slavery, and car washes in particular are known for being used for money laundering (no pun intended).
Attending illegal immigrants does not stop the problem though. As others have said, there need to be easier legal means for them to emigrate to the UK.
They can stay where they are
you should be flayed alive, nazi
If only Westerners would do the same eh?
I'm sure Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria, India, the entirety of Africa, Korea, Cambodia, Burma, the Americas, Palestine and god knows how many other places, would have appreciated us not moving in and upturning their entire way of life and strip mining their countries for our own benefit.
But sure, stop the migrants at the border. Then you can work for minimum wage washing my car. You utter ghoul.
I take comfort in knowing that you will get to watch the quality of life in whatever ghastly western country you live in completely deteriorate, and as that happens your own ruling elite will turn their hungry eyes inwards and begin to treat you and the ones you love the same way they've treated poor people around the world. As a resource to be exploited, used up, and then thrown away. It couldn't happen to a more deserving people.
I'll be in China, laughing my fucking arse off.
The point everyone else is likely to miss here. Both of these are poorly regulated havens for modern slavery.
