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! :'(

The fact that they edited the foam is ridiculously petty
‘They’ being whoever doctored the image, and not the Labour MP.
It does (once again) raise a valid point about verification of images. Some kind of checksum or (god help us) blockchain based confirmation that an image hasn’t been altered.
Obviously any resizing of an image would screw this up, but there are already lots of apps that can find duplicates despite different resolutions.
I agree if the MP themselves (or one of their staff) had tweaked the image this would be more serious. Did anyone work out the original source of the modified version?
Hilarious, in my opinion.
