UK Politics
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! :'(

If a monitor could literally kill her (ankle monitor wasn't used due to deep vein thrombosis) it's hard to imagine her being much danger to the public.
It sounds like all she did was to block traffic, similar to many of these truck blockades the US, Canada, India, and I'm sure other conservative protesters have used to no punishment. Unlike them, she even is sorry, but felt she had no choice and it also sounds like they won because the government seemingly has agreed to the protestor's demands.
