Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.
Less than £300k for a year of repeated rape by fraud? And no charges for the officer? Sounds like imperialism to me.

“It is important to note that since Mark Kennedy’s deployment there has been enormous change in undercover policing, both in the Met and nationally, and I want to be clear that this case in no way reflects modern-day undercover policing.”
Press X to doubt.
I had a deadbeat housemate once who claimed to have been visited by two special branch cops who offered to arrange him a sexual partner in return for spying on the local anti-war group he was in. This seemed ludicrous at the time, as the group would gather outside the town hall in small numbers and sing “No More Blood For Oil” all in different keys, but in the light of this story (which had been known for quite a while now) it absolutely tracks with the tactics it turned out they’d been using.
I mean like... how do you even react to when the cops offer to pimp for you?
Incels just need to pretend to be leftists and then they’ll get their government mandated GF.
Have you seen them try and talk to women it's embarrassing. They usually last about 15 minutes and then they call somebody "female", or something and they can't work out what went wrong.
They would be amusingly crap spies. You could probably keep them in your midst and just talk coded language, and they probably wouldn't pick up on it.
All I need to do is join a bunch of leftist organizations and the state will assign me a sexual partner?
Incels hate this one simple trick!
Happens a lot in Spain.
There has been a lot cases of police officers infiltrating left and social movements, male and female, and "failing in love" with people inside them. Just off the top of my head, there is a case of female cop that was caught by her partner after 4 years of relationship and before getting married; an another one where a male cop infiltrated different associations and literally fucked his way up to the intel, tricking women and having them have (consent) sex with him. This one his awaiting trial because after finding out the girls sued him for sexual abuse, but i doubt it will go anywhere knowing how justice works here.
You cannot obtain consent by deceit. That's rape.
Speaking only about the legal sense here, most places do not recognize that. If you are of sound mind and body, not under the influence of drugs, extortion, etc, then the consent is valid.
Part of the problem is that everyone is at least a little deceitful, and these have been used in courts to claim rape. I remember a case about the use of makeup (deceiving about her actual looks and genetics), and another about being the "wrong" ethnicity. Where is the line for the courts to be involved?
