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! :'(

Wasn't planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.

I don't know anyone who doesn't have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.

Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.

If they're not going to be be near cenotaph then fine.

The way you've worded that response provides the reason why Cruella et al. did wade in. Because it's a hypothetical for you, "oh, if that's the case..." – it IS the case, but unless you're part of the protest or following sympathetic sources, you're simply unlikely to know that. In fact, you're likely to assume the opposite. You're likely to presume that this is something that goes right past the cenotaph because that's exactly how the Tory agitators have framed it. As Tory Baroness Warsi called them: arsonists.

I wouldn't mind betting the two scumbags just let back onto the birdsite are getting their tuppence in as well.

Yeah at least one of them, Tommeh, is actively organising marches as we speak. The rhetoric coming out of (I think, at present) 3 far-right marches is all about "defending the cenotaph" from "terrorism". Predictable, which is why Cruella and the others are such reprehensible cunts.
