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! :'(

What does that have to do with talking about Israel-Palestine?

Which is literally just Arabic for "god is great". If that's why he's being "investigated" it makes the green party look even worse.

When those Greens nominate a candidate that thanks Jesus for giving them strength then you know they've gone full insane.... Right? 🤣

with respect to accuracy / pendantry, he didn't chant, or start chanting anything - he shouted 'allahu akbar'
