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! :'(

He literally is suspended of a crime. Hezbollah is a proscribed terrorist group. You can't just pop in and visit them without raising eyebrows of the police, so Miller is rightly being questioned.
What crime is he suspected of and by whom ?
Being involved with a proscribed terrorist group, on account of attending the funeral of their leader and putting messages of support on social media. That's in addition to other smoking guns like being paid by Iranian state media.
I'm not sure why you're having difficulty understanding this. Hezbollah is a terrorist group.
And suspected by the police. That's who investigate crime, silly billy. Who were you expecting to be questioning him, Batman?
You will of course have read the article, and got the bit where it said :
Can you take us through what happened cognitively, at this point ?
Because it means the police didn’t have to suspect him of anything. And there is nothing that says this did suspect him of anything .
We really need you to nail this bit, before we can explain the concept that “guilt by association “ is not a real thing, at least in English law.
It’s the same legal standard that means if your mom sells crack, you aren’t automatically a crack dealer also.
Skwawkbox have repeatedly lied in the past (and in this very article), so I'm not inclined to believe them here, they are a pro-Russia rag, after all. In addition they've been successfully sued for lying before.
Is there a better source alleging that? Because I can't find it anywhere.
Except it's not something his "mom" did (nice job showing off you're not a British commenter, btw. Just another person sowing discord on political forums), it's something he did. At a minimum he visited and spent time with a proscribed terrorist group.
I'll ask again: if someone has dealings with terrorist groups, or visits Russian generals, do you think it's unreasonable for the police to ask them some questions?
Why are you so reluctant to accept Hezbollah are a terrorist group?
E: FFS, I'm talking to a 2 week old account who has almost exclusively posted anti-Ukraine comments. I really need to check for these things before I reply. There will be no further discussion with you, Dimitri 🇷🇺
