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.

The People's Front of Judea?

No, The Judean People's Front.

The movie references the splintering of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).

  • 1967 Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF)
  • 1968 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC)
  • 1969 Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)
  • 1972 Popular Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Palestine

  • The people's front of Palestine AKA the Palestinians people's front AKA... The name changes will cease when the facists stop being facist

I mean ok but the drafters of the Terrorism Act did think of that already, changing your name doesn’t get you out of anything. Both the IRA and National Front were forever peeling off into splinter groups with new names back in the 20th century.

How does that even work then, do they just decide what group you are supporting?

Pretty much, I mean that's why we have judges, to look at all the facts of the case and make a decision on whether this is functionally the same group of people doing the same things as they were under another name. Legal loopholes aren't as easy as some people think.
