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.

Nobody is "all" anything. But many if not most would agree with Zack and the rest are going to have to prove that their perceived fear of Palestine marches trumps the freedom of speech of others and the lives at stake in Palestine.

It must be great to be invited to give your opinion, but when it differs from the stereotype assigned to you, you get told off for not conforming to the stereotype.

"All Jews" never suppported the state of Israel

Israel was never created for "all Jews"

There are more Jews living outside Israel than in it

There are large numbers of Jews that oppose the state of Israel, even it's existence yet their voices are rarely heard

Trevor Phillips the so-called anti-racism campaigner joined in the islamophobic attacks on all Muslims, he's another establishment scumbag

Polanski didn't have much of an answer to it, even though it's not a difficult one to answer from a principled position. You can report hate crimes if you want, but the right to free speech of thousands of people should be balanced against the possibility of hate crimes being committed by a tiny minority on those marches.

I think this principle stands both ways, too, because it's clear that far right rallies are permitted, despite hate speech being kind of the point of those rallies. I'm not sure why Polanski couldn't have answered this better, especially when he is in the right.
