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.

Now that the UK has recognised Palestine as a state, this opens legal routes for British members of the IDF to be charged in the UK

UK politics really confuses me. How can they be this way about the people committing Israel's genocide...while also treating the people protesting against Israel's genocide like they're terrorists?

Are the folks in charge, all schizophrenic?

Not the same people.

This article is a legal opinion. Not a government one. The gov has not admitted that a genocide is happening. Risk of one is still the closest they have gotten.

The current UK gov is consistent in their arsehollery if nothing else.

It means having an opinion was the only wrong answer! HA! Great, right?

Nope they're just wind socks that blow in the direction of public opinion and private interests.
