General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)

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.

Strangulation is among the most lethal forms of domestic violence – and being strangled increases the risk of being killed in the future by 750%. Along with an alarming increase in reported strangulations in Western New York,

The article shown in her video.

Non-fatal strangulation was reported in 10% of abused controls, 45% of attempted homicides and 43% of homicides. Prior non-fatal strangulation was associated with greater than six-fold odds (OR 6.70, 95% CI 3.91–11.49) of becoming an attempted homicide, and over seven-fold odds (OR 7.48, 95% CI 4.53–12.35) of becoming a completed homicide.

Very curious as to what you based your assumption on it being "fabricated" on though.

Edit: Got nothing to say after the study is provided to you after baselessly claiming it was “fabricated” but hanging around to downvote my replies in child comments. Brave man.

Even if that stat is correct, you've made the wrong conclusion.

This stat is saying if your partner chokes you in an act of violence (non-consenually) then the risk goes up. The key point being that if someone is willing to choke you in violence, they're likely to escalate further.

Given the other person claimed it was “fabricated” and I’ve provided the same study that was cited in the video, that’s probably all I need to hear from you about this but anyway.

I not only reference that in the initial comment but specifically state that in others in the comment chain.
