I don’t know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I’m lost.

      Would you mind sharing the riots about asylum seekers and whatever else from the last five years? If you have a correction, post it. Dont just leave a useless sarcastic comment.

      I am also speaking United Kingdom specifically

        the last five years

        Fascist violence has been around in the UK for longer than five years. Where did five years come from?

          An arbitrary date

          edit. Im not arguing its not been a problem for a long time. I am just saying the violence ramped up very recently compared to the last five years for an example arbitrary date
