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.
Divisive hyperbole and misinformation like this are completely unfitting for a children’s charity,” a minister added. “This kind of language makes the concept of complicity utterly meaningless, which does no favours to the many children at risk of atrocities around the world.”
Fucken hell
how to stop children being killed by british built weapons. step one: condemn children's charities. step two: keep arming israel
Yes, Minister got it wrong with The Whiskey Priest.
The government wont try to hide that British weapons are ending up in the hands of terrorists. Theyre too busy defending the fact they already openly sell to terrorists in Israel.
Save the Children is part of a coalition of 17 humanitarian organisations who issued a joint statement on Wednesday calling on the incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, to take “decisive action on Gaza and the occupied West Bank” when he takes office next week.
Among its central demands is the complete suspension of arms sales to Israel and the imposition of trade sanctions until alleged breaches of international law are brought to an end.
Pretty reasonable demands, the bare minimum TBH, anything else is complicity
A government source suggested on Wednesday that the post could increase anxiety among MPs already worried about their security
Oh no, have MPs tried being responsive to constituents needs as a way to avoid being hated?
we bombed tens of thousands of palestinian children, ut you mentioned that we did it, and that made us feel unsafe. only one thing for it, more funding for the military-industrial complex!
