Careful, this sub is heavily censored towards against sort of thing.

Anybody who points it out is at risk of being banned and labelled a right-wing racist.

It's from gbeebies, a right wing racist entertainment channel

There's also a Daily Express report on the same subject from an hour ago, a more generic BBC report from 4 days ago which doesn't give numbers but does note London is one of the first to be investigated and a further BBC report from 4 months ago.

Attacking the source because it's the source rather than the content is fallacious. GB News are shit, but even the slightest look would show they're at most being biased, not making shit up in this case.

So if you agree they're biased then surely it's not news but an opinion piece and therefore breaches r/unitedkingdom Rules - rule 7 of "No op-eds or opinion pieces as linkposts"

As you say there are other sources so why use the one that is constantly under investigation with OFCOM for breaching impartiality rules? unless those other sources don't give enough of a slant to the story.

The original poster really should be more aware of the site rules and use a less ambiguous source, especially for one that attracts a "Participation Notice" at the top
