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.

  • "It's only targeting organisation Palestine Action", they said
  • "It's still legal to protest", they said
  • "It's only due to the aircraft attack", they said

One dude, alone, waiving a flag with a couple of cardboard signs. Not an organisation. Not causing damage to anything. Protesting the killing of innocent civilians.

What the actual fuck!

I always thought our freedoms would be taken away with a massive false flag with huge casualties. Not because we oppose genocide.

Oh wow. The YouTube version of this video had the rozzers faces blurred so I just assumed it was some dumb rookie but there's no way these are rookies!

Fucking fascists.
