UK Politics
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.

* In a couple months, contingent on some weird conditions
IDK, man, it's a fucking emergency. To me, what would make more sense is "Israel will start to allow food trucks into Gaza without restriction by the end of the week, or else we'll be recognizing Palestine as a state and submitting to the ICC for an arrest warrant for crimes against humanity." Even that would be pretty weak compared to what they should be doing. I mean what they did is a start, it's good I guess, but it's still playing into letting Netanyahu run out the clock on the Gazans staying alive.
I also like how they demand of the Palestinians the end of Hamas leadership in Gaza, as if that hasn't been an Israeli project this entire time which a decent number of Palestinians are miserable about for semi-obvious reasons.
