Set fire to his house, a flat "linked" to him (family member perhaps?), and his old car.
We live in an unhealthy democracy when people are being this extremist and violent over a political figure so bland he makes Gordon Brown look fun and care-free.
This makes me really angry.
We've lost 2 MP's in recent memory, I don't care their leaning, they were murdered while in service to the people as a member of parliament. You wanna go for the prime minister? again, don't care his political leaning, fuck you. Make an example of them.
Would the reaction be the same if it wasn’t a politician and just a regular person out of the public eye?
No, an attack on a member of our government, particularly the prime minister, is an attack on our entire nation.
(by 'the' reaction, I assume you mean mine)
That said, such an attack is never acceptable.
Isn't that the point though it wouldn't have occurred to a random member of the public because a random member of the public isn't a politician.
PM is literally a landleech 💀
What else was he supposed to do with his house?
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
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.
