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

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