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.

U.K.'s Green party to vote on 'Zionism Is Racism' motion (www.jpost.com)

The UK Green Party is set to vote on whether "Zionism is Racism" at the upcoming Spring Conference.

Motion A105 Zionism is Racism defines Zionism as racism, recognises its "continued harm to Palestinians," and would position the stance of the Green Party as anti-Zionist.

It recognizes Zionism as Israel's foundational ideology that has created and maintains an apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It further affirms the right to self-determination and liberation of the Palestinian people and supports the establishment of a "single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital." This effectively would eradicate the State of Israel.
