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! :'(
Why is Thames Water commissioning studies about people's immigration status? Stop pissing about and fix the pipes!
They are looking for excuses for their failure. While trying to convince ofwat they are working hard.
Before all this sewer crap came out. Thames was making excuses that London was harder to maintain due to age, population and restrictions on digging up pipes. That they claim other cities don't face.
This is just more of the same. Trying to argue the populational stress in London is way higher then documented.
Unfortunately the clear evidence they feel the need to lie about the numbers. Will not harm the shitty arseholes causing the real strain.
You'd think if immigration was as bad (both in terms of numbers and its effects on Britain) as they think, they wouldn't have to lie so much.
Yet the lie is the only information in this headline.
1 in 12 was the highest of a range of estimates for the proportion of “irregular migrants”, but these estimates included some people who are not illegal immigrants, such as those given indefinite leave to remain, as well as some British-born children of migrants with irregular status.
Actual scumbags
