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.

118k is just above the minimum for debate.

Given governments have ignored millions. Absolutely nothing was ever expected to happen.

The only way to have any effect. If 10s of millions directly writing to MPs stating the conflation with Israels actions and Jewish people. Is unacceptable.

Only when MPs have a clear indication. Their power is on the line. Will any pay any attention to it.

And ATM. No matter how much social media etc. makes it clear anti genocide and accusing Israel of genocide in not anti Semitic. Their bank Ballance. And UK media. Is pointing them.

To this opinion being a small vocal group and not the majority.

Only with millions taking direct action and telling their MPs. No stop this shit or lose you job.

Do any of them think they have anything to fear.

Add this to the fact. They still refuse to take the one party expressing this view seriously. As do many voters.

And they are in part correct to think. The opposition to this view. Is not supported by any risk of electoral defeat.
