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.

Maybe some of those police feeling icky arresting PA protesters could arrest this guy

Fuck that. Roll out the red carpet for him and then chuck him in prison.

It would be very nice if we avoided quoting an islamist outlet.

The Middle East Monitor is literally muslim brotherhood PR. -

For instance, they once wrote that Israel flooded Gaza by opening a giant dam

But there is no damn in this zone.

There are more serious news outlets.

Oh, like the ones that do not acknowledge a genocide?

Or the ones that don't need additional sources if the israeli genocidal army sats something?

You don't think that makes western media "unserious"?

I would join the Muslim Brotherhood, if that would help the kids being killed by the israeli genocidal army.

It would be rather fucking nice if you got your priorities in order.

Just because an atrocity is transpiring is no reason to lose all sense and hand islamists a victory. That’s the sort of thing that enabled this mess to begin with.

No, what enabled this to begin with, is the British government handing a piece of land, with an indigenous population, to a different ethnic group that has since then been ethnically cleaning that piece of land, with help, blessings and UN Security Council vetos from our governments.

MME is a credible media outlet. Maybe you think otherwise because they don't spare your conscience from our complicity in this genocide, like the BBC does.

Palestinians have a right to self defence, just like Ireland, India and all your other former colonies. Yes, Palestine is also a former British colony, and like so many others have had to fix a mess created by the western world.

Are islamists a single organized group? Is it a term so completely mixed with "The War on Terror" propaganda, that it is any muslim who does not appreciate our vision for a place we have no right to, and who opposes that through an organisation defined through a religion.

You are not a millimeter better than a person opposed to "christians" getting a win.
