General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
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.

What I don't understand is why people are choosing to die on this hill. Supporting Palestine Action isn't the only way to support Palestine, and if they've been essentially disbanded by the proscription (bank accounts frozen etc) then it isn't even an effective way to give support in any meaningful sense. The banner "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine." would be legal, and arguably more effective than the longer one because (in theory at least) it should be unopposed by law.

A quick search for "how to support palestine uk" found these pages among many others:

It highlights the hypocrisy at the centre of the UKs policy towards Israel. The hand wringing and pledges to make a hollow gesture if Israel don't stop murdering babies in 6 months time. All the while using British military equipment and personnel to observe the genocide for Israel and selling Israel the bombs and bullets to do it.
