More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

The video appeared to show one of the brothers on the floor, being kicked in the face by Marsden while on the ground, as onlookers shouted for him to stop.

Marsden, who was suspended after the incident, maintained he had used reasonable force and that he had not intended to stamp on or kick Amaaz, but was instead trying to stop him grabbing the wire of his police radio and using it against him. The Crown Prosecution Service said in December that year that no police officer would face charges over the incident, leading to Greater Manchester police lifting Marsden’s suspension.
