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.

I mean several of them are actually migrants themselves who came here legally which is pretty funny
Just because the government used the word illegal doesn't mean they actually are committing a crime. There's no law that says that you are not allowed to come to the UK to seek asylum. Such a law would violate the international law of human rights, so I'm sure the Conservatives are all for it.
They are perfectly allowed to seek asylum in any country they wish, they are not required to seek it in France. Now if they were trying to enter the country illegally that would be different, but they're not, they're actually seeking asylum so they go to the authorities and declare themselves.
It's hardly their fault there's no way for them to do that in France. Conservatives have set the situation up intentionally to make this a problem. It wasn't an issue on the Labour.
