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.

Huh, but denouncing the Palestinian genocide is a terrorist act somehow?

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 69 points 1 month ago (1 children)

UK government proscribes Palestinian support as terrorism, but not these far-right groups, because the UK government has always been a government primarily for white people’s right to kill people of color.

The UK government has committed more atrocities and terroristic acts than Hamas.

Let's be fair to the UK. They've also always been very fond of killing and supressing the Irish and Scots.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 9 points 1 month ago

Extra fun fact. For a while in many places neither group were considered "white". Black and Muslim is the new Italian or Scott/Irish.

If there's one thing that living in that country during the Leave Referendum has taught me, is that Racism in Britain is far more fine grained than merelly skin color: basically there is a prevalent idea amongst mainly the English (also amongst those of the other nations, but it's less common) that they're inherently superior to everybody else but Americans.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Everyone always feels superior to Americans. Including Americans, that's why they always claim to have Irish ancestry so they're not too closely related to their fellow Americans

Of course he’s not going to arrest the dude. That’s probably his sergeant off-duty!

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Police won't arrest anyone because they're all under 60

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, if they can't take candy from a baby, they sure can take freedom from an anti-genocide pensioner.

We want people to live peacefully and with dignity, in a country that is not under threat from its neighbors

~ Terrorist Group Palestine Action Which Should Be Imprisoned Indefinitely

We will not be satisfied until every British resident passes the paper bag test. Anyone who doesn't should go to the gas chambers.

Why would they arrest him? That would take police resources away from what really matters, arresting pensioners for protesting the prescription of Palestine Action.

Falkirk today

But this hate march was on Saturday, and the image seems to be as well.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks for the date correction. The person who posted the image claimed it was Aug18. Corrected to Aug16.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Had it been a frail old lady on a wheel chair holding a piece of paper with the words "Palestine Action" written on it instead of a neonazi, the police would've pounced on her and dragged away to jail.

It makes sense since the neonazi is probably one of their mates.

Zionists have allied with far right fascists to destabilise Western societies.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

"They're the same picture"

In fact Zionist is pretty close to actual NAZIsm, only with different ubermenschen and untermenschen - not merely "traditional" Fascism which is anchored on Nationalism but actual ethno-Fascism which is anchored on Racism and hence far more murderous.

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only one possibility. The police are pro-genocide.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 7 points 1 month ago

Police are the jackboot of the regime... They pro whatever pedos in charge tell them to be pro.

That's how regimes work. These NPC never cross their handlers.

Protect are culcha

Protect are kids

I really like how the gammon decided to make a sign, and rather than trace out the letters to eyeball the spacing, he just took his magic markers and started scribbling

Never forget that Hitler was not a bastard, but a son of Western European culture. Some things haven't changed!

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Austria is not western Europe

[–] ghost_of_faso3@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Austria is not western Europe

Its literally directly south of Germany, its culturally western.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Oh well if the weatherspoons crowd are doing it it must be ok.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

i really hate white people

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

If you think it's the skin color that makes or not people like this, then you're the same kind of person as the neo-nazi in that picture.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Bit racist.

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Define white people.
