Why does the BBC keep calling the right-wing rioters 'protesters'? Is it purely to draw a false equivalency between the people throwing bricks at mosques, acid attacking people, and burning police cars and the people opposing that?
The BBC supports traditionalism and maintaining the status quo and so are predisposed to not calling out social or ethic problems because it would necessitate change.
Double-speak is just sometimes more obvious at times.
the media and politicians: why would immigrants, migrants, and muslims do this?
BBC were calling it a "hotel for asylum seekers" earlier in the day

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! :'(
