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.

people still supporting PA have a martyrdom fetish or just plain stupid
with these folks you are probably correct
Or they... care about democracy and freedom of speech. Tyranny anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.
The above is clearly smoking the ergot. That has embedded into the party loyal PLP ATM.
The Owen Jones conference interviews were clear. Seeing government members openly indicating they have unsharable intelligence against PA. While also claiming the same about this being why they supported Israel closing borders to food etc.
It has become a burying all questioning claim for the government.
When a democratic party is using official secrets to hide their reasoning behind halting freedom of speech. They know full well that evidence is not convincing or are just hiding Their own lies.
And as the mainstream media will not challenge this. It is down to protesters to make it clear. Ending freedom of speech is not acceptable without public evidence of the rationale.
"The Leader has a secret plan!"
Just trust us, bruv.
They are forcing their own arrest to overwhelm and break the system. It's not hard to understand.
