United Kingdom
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.

They publicly condemned Israel, committed to arresting Netanyahu if he ever came here, sanctioned much of the Israeli parliament, refused to join the US/Israel in attacking Iran, ramped up humanitarian aid for Palestine, stopped weapons exports to Israel, and formally recognised Palestine.
I struggle to see this rabid support of Israel that Lemmy posters always seem to talk about.
Nope. They publicly supported Israeli "right" to starve Gaza, criminalised the support of a direct action group that opposes the genocide, continue to arm Israel, allowed Israel to attack British boats and kidnap British citizens sailing on them, continue to fly spy planes for Israel and refuel their planes at Akrotiri.
The UK government is complicit in genocide.
No. They proscribed a group that ram raided factories with workers inside, advocated for genocide, trashed businesses for having Jewish owners, smashed a policewoman's back while she was incapacitated on the floor with a sledgehammer, and broke into an RAF base and destroyed the engines of two jets.
More bullshit
They warned Israel against targeting civilians and gave them information on Hamas installations in an attempt to lessen civilian casualties.
Stop fucking lying. Israel and the UK don't even have compatible fueling systems.
If you believe that, you are brain-dead. Re-read the above comment.
Just outright lies! There's just not even a concession to the truth with you, is there.
