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.

Describing the Israel-Gaza war as “genocide” trivialises the concept, the Chief Rabbi has said.

Sir Ephraim Mirvis said “the race to linguistic escalation has consequences”, adding that accusing Israel of committing genocide went against “the very idea of human rights itself” and reduced “humanity’s gravest crime to a political insult”.

Just because a county purports to share your religon, doesn't mean you have to white knight for them murdering thousands of babies
