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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

So, the only "hate" here was from the people opposed to a ceasefire! Time for Braverman to go.

Now, when I see left "progressives" teaming up with right terrorist groups on a basis of hating Jews

I don't think you know what's going on that's not what's happening. No one is joining up with any terrorist groups. All that is happening is that people are saying that maybe the war shouldn't be happening the terrorist groups need dealing with but the way you do that isn't to bomb the entire civilian population out of existence.

I know it's complicated

Wars are not "happening". One group of people attack another group of people, and another group of people have to defend themselves. In order to "stop war" you're saying that another group of people should just die without fighting back.

If you just going to make stuff up then there's no point talking to you.

We are calling on Israel to stop attacking Gaza. Literally nothing else is happening. There's no other conspiracy there's no other plan.

Go look it up or don't.
