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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
they elected trump; they should worry about their own economy
Israel planned to bomb US and UK targets in Egypt in a false flag called the Lavon Affair.
Israel tried to sink the USS Liberty (killing US citizens).
Israel stole Uranium from US Uranium stock piles when the US said they weren't allowed to have a nuclear program (eg. They started one anyway with stolen US Uranium).
Israel isn't some friend to the US. It never has been. Lashing out at the UK in defence of Netanyahu's war crimes is just part of the self-hatred America shows for its self in the name of Israel.
America - who soon under Trump may halt all support of Ukraine and leave Europe to fend for its self against Russia (but probably won't due to other powers that be).
The point is, America keeps threatening its European allies in the name of people doing war crimes (Putin and Netanyahu).... It's starting to look like; How you say - an axis of evil.
... self-hatred ...
We are talking about Lindsey Graham, after all.
While I agree with your overall point I'm pretty sure most of us all understand that they didn't steal the uranium as much as they were allowed to steal the uranium. That's almost an Open Secret at this point.
Zionists also bombed the British King David Hotel. The group that carried out the attack, Irgun, later became Likud, Netanyahu's party.
Don't forget selling US technology to Russia.
We are just waiting for boomer brainrot to die off, this blind israel support gonna lose public support
Sad reality is that Palestinians will be genocided in the mean time but that's just how things work when you permit foreign state to infiltrate your institutions like AIPAC did within US.
Parasites deff ran psyop of the century to get US to pay for the genocide in both political clout and straight cash.
Clearly folks didn't learn their lessons because they forgot USS liberty.
Religion cannot end soon enough. It is the root of all the common people's support of Israel.
Most Israelis are secular nationalists.
I'm talking more about the American rabble that think they're going to bring Jesus back by supporting Israel at any cost and voting Republican.
As the old die off, additional people become old. Don't assume they'll be any more immune to brain rot.
GenZ gonna start sucking Israeli dick?
!remindmein20years lol
I dunno why these chowder heads think they are the kind of people that will get raptured. "Oo I do lots of evil shitty things but I'm totally going to get chosen by a sky fairy who picks people for doing nice things."
They are mentally ill sociopaths.
It doesn't make sense because you're trying to ascribe logic where there is none.
who picks people for doing nice things
That's not what most evangelicals (and the rapture is at this point mostly only subscribed to in its usual sense by US evangelicals so far as I can tell) believe. It's all about the Jesus not the nice.
You're quite right, supply side Jesus seems to have a bit of a different focus than classical nice guy Jesus..
"No-one is the villan of their own story."
They think they are doing more good than harm. It's fucked up, but it's still helpful to understand how they view the world. It makes it easier to predict and counter them.
To them, it's like you threatening to beat up the local priest, while on the way to a major aid drive, because he parked wrongly. They are stepping into stop you interrupting the Lords work! Of course they will be rewarded for that!
Before or after the US crushes its own economy first?
if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.
Too late, they already did it to themselves with Brexit.
Jokes on Trump. We like fucking up our economy.
Very thoughtful to give Starmer an excuse for not doing something he was never going to do anyway.
Starmer has already said the UK will honor the arrest warrant.
Lets remember. That is pretty much a garrentee he won't have to.
Not like Netanyahu is required to visit his jurisdiction. Publicly declaring this will ensure he dosent.
Until Netanyahu starts pushing the issue and visiting other countries one after the other to show ICC as toothless.
They'll probably start with a sure thing and then go through less hostile countries, till they go to one that said it will honor the warrant. And with more countries "behind", acting on the warrant will seem "irrational". It's a bluff, but one that is very likely to work to "normalize" the political situation after the genocide.
He very publicly committed to doing just that, what are you talking about?
Hi I've just teleported here from a neighboring timeline. How is it going, Earth-420chungus69?
...
Jesus Christ.
It's like, IF we are in a simulation... we are the trash-tv of generated content, bordering pulp.
I always imagine future historians having so much fun learning about this period.
If the billionaires club doesn't destroy or close source the data. Regarding the value, our Data is the one which wasn't tempered with (Ai).
So yes .. we are famous in the future! (Kind of)
Around the campfire in the flooded ruins.
It's not as if many countries would've been eager to be the one that has to arrest him regardless of whatever ridiculous threats are uttered by Trumpists. Netanyahu will find himself very unwelcome almost everywhere in the world.
I've become so desensitized to this timeline that I no longer think it's horrible, just too spicy. It's impossible to keep up with all the geopolitical stuff happening all over at the same time
There’s no way the Yanks can hurt our economy any more than we can.
There are three players that can hurt our economy. The UK, the US, and the EU.
Bring it on
Starmer is a well-documented Zionist. There's no way old Huckleberry Graham would need to follow up on a threat like that.
Be wary of Lindsey, you cross him and his MEMAW will git ya!
It's cute that this guy thinks he can crush the UK economy more than the Tories did for the past 14 years.
Our allies learning the hard Lesson about their pecking order within US power structures
Netanyahu and Putin are learning alright, but it's not very hard on them.
The latest figures I could find from August 2024 shows that USA imports slightly more from UK than vice versa. It is in balance when rounded to the nearest billion.
Any changes to this would backfire 1:1 on the US.
What's the connection between US/UK trade balance and Netanyahu anyway.
But that billion would be more impactful to the UK economy over the US one due to their respective sizes.
Would be totally worth it though, not that it would happen.
What's the connection between US/UK trade balance and Netanyahu anyway.
This was said by an elected Senator from the United States of America. It doesn't have to make sense or follow any reasons. 😂
It is school yard bullying: "Do what I say or I will punch you".
If UK obliges to that, he's just going to use the same threat over and over.
It is school yard bullying: "Do what I say or I will punch you".
It absolutely is. But they call it "Balance Of Power" in polite circles.
New guy rhetoric.
Israel has a firm enough grasp on the UK. Theres no question they would arrest him.
I also have a plan to crush UK economy:
