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.

Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

Wade, who's held a season ticket for nearly a decade, explained that he was escorted out of the stadium without explanation. The club later issued a ban letter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT #TERRORISM.

It it about wiping off #Palestine off the map of the earth.

Iran's president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it

Nope. The origin of that oft-repeated excuse is a deliberate mistranslation.

What was ACTUALLY said was "the nation of Israel will disappear from the pages of history".

Not exactly polite, but nowhere near the direct and existential threat that Hasbarists pretend it was.

Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here

Sure, but the latter MUCH moreso. The genuinely awful theocracy of Iran is not even in the same LEAGUE of awfulness as the West's favorite fascist apartheid regime.
