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.

The petition debates are always dead-ends.
In this case the consensus was that the petition author was probably anti-semitic, and that the people who signed it were either misled or filled with hatred.
So no, nothing further. And there was also the suggestion that if a similar petition should reach 100k votes it should be ignored as antisemitism.
That quote is a bit out of context. Mohamed was responding to the frequent claims of singling “the only Jewish state” out, and he pointed to Rycroft as having solely Chinese and Russian influence as its terms of reference, so why can they be singled out but not Israel.
