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.

No, I'm talking about a genocide. "Your honour, we had to commit a genocide, the Allies had prisoners!" -some Nazi in Nuremberg, probably.

Correct, I won't engage in your "what aboutism" other than mocking it. I'm still waiting for your apologies. The links are different from each other, and the three above, perhaps you might think any of those responsible for writing those reports and articles want to understand the conflict.

Maybe you'll learn why a rational person with all the facts you have, maybe even more facts than you have, would call it a genocide. Call it a lesson in empathy: all the same facts, different conclusion, still rational.

Summary: The UK government have banned speech protesting their military support of a genocide. I think that's bad, both the banning of protest and the military support Isreal. Do you agree? If not what do you disagree with? The banning of protest in the UK? The banning of speech in the UK? The military support of Israel?
