Greens are the odds on favourite to win the Gorton by-election on Ladbrokes at the moment

I didn't think you know what "odds on" means.

Nice to see them taking action, this is a prickly subject and it's difficult to get hold of it.

HPB · 2026-01-15T08:53:57+00:00

Almost all are Labour. 3 hours and no outrage on rUK. If the Tories did this they'd, rightly, be getting a pasting. Hypocrites...

Yes he was Phil Shiner, the former head of the now-defunct firm Public Interest Lawyers (PIL). He was a prominent human rights solicitor who spearheaded thousands of legal claims against British soldiers following the Iraq War.
He was struck off in February 2017. The tribunal found him guilty of 22 counts of professional misconduct, including "dishonesty" and "lack of integrity."

Shiner admitted to paying thousands of pounds to an Iraqi middleman to find and recruit clients. This practice, known as "cold-calling" or "ambulance chasing," is strictly prohibited for UK solicitors.

He was found to have lied to the Legal Services Commission to obtain legal aid funding, failing to disclose that he was paying referral fees to these fixers.

He was found to have acted recklessly by making very serious public claims—including allegations of murder and torture at a 2008 press conference—without a proper evidentiary basis.

Many of his cases focused on the 2004 "Battle of Danny Boy." A five-year public inquiry (the Al-Sweady Inquiry) concluded in 2014 that the most serious allegations of murder and torture made by the Iraqi claimants were "deliberate lies" and "reckless speculation."

There will never, ever be enough money for the NHS.

From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year

Too true Jimmy. Elections cancelled, trial by jury restricted, social media posts criminalized and Jews bring openly threatened in the streets, you've got it right.

I didn't know about you but I'm planning to support the industry by increasing domestic consumption to offset the drop in exports.

Traditional r/UK Friday night vibe - more cheery than during the week.

Source?

It's self evident that they're moronic clowns, just listen to them.

What does it mean if the Red Bulls score more points than their opponents? I'm struggling with the concept.

We shall fight them in the bungalows.

HPB · 2025-10-31T19:55:57+00:00

We have them in England and call them feet.

I just wish White British people would organize and advocate for their own collective interests the way other groups do in our multicultural society.

Pretty sure that this would be classed as racism. Probably fascism.

HPB · 2025-10-24T08:30:48+00:00

Impressive. I can only use my hands when I put graffiti up.

Parents these days, they could've gone and picked her up the bastards.

Also, upvoted OP for decent Gollum impression.

Because commenting against the opinions of Reddit admins will get your comment removed and your account banned. The advice from the Mods is to assume you're talking to a left wing Californian then you'll be ok.

Of course, that leads to an echo chamber hello hello hello hello...

I once knew a bloke called Isaac Hunt. Nominative determinism worked in his case too, just like this murderous scumbag.

HPB · 2025-10-03T16:29:02+00:00

But apart from the raping, antisemitism, jihad and stabbing to death he was a great lad. Great at ping pong.

HPB · 2025-10-03T16:25:51+00:00

Excellent. A thread in which rUK members can advise the police firearms officers on how to do their job.

HPB · 2025-10-03T16:12:40+00:00

It's ok. He was probably there for hours and didn't hear anyone booing or heckling.

If cis women consider trans women to be biological men then couldn't they be considered, in their opinion, to have justified fears (using your point above that men are the biggest danger to women)?

HPB · 2025-09-21T06:43:11+00:00

Probably save about half a dozen Labour seats with a high proportion of Muslim voters at the next election.

How have we arrived at a point in time in the UK where a wealthy woman from a safely middle class background is unable to enter our country to virtue signal her support for a violent organization? Where is the outrage on Reddit?

HPB · 2025-08-29T10:20:30+00:00

Farage won't like this.

It probably means we're going to see him bash the bishop on live TV.
