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! :'(

It's also worth pointing out that only nine members of staff have actually been implicated, of UNRWA's 30,000 employees, which makes the months of UNRWA being branded a terrorist organisation even more ridiculous. Even still, the language is super noncommittal, "could", "may have". Obviously, if they were involved in 7 October attack, they should be fired, but I'm going to hold of judgment until we get any concrete info on what these nine members of staff did.
