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.

Eighty-six people have been arrested in the United Kingdom after gathering at a London prison in support of a Palestine Action-linked activist on hunger strike, who is being held there, police say.

London’s Metropolitan Police wrote on X late on Saturday that officers were dispatched to Prison Wormwood Scrubs, where protesters “refused to leave the grounds when ordered to do so”.

As opposed to qutari state owned propoganda slop?

Out of curiosity do you know what happens to someone who breaks into a military airfield and damages military aircraft in Qatar?

It's ok to say you don't know the answer to my question, we can all take time to learn something new every day.

Perhaps you can look it up? It might be enlightening.

I don't think you comprehend English?

Breaking into a military facility in Qatar is tried as espionage and or sedition. Do you want to look up the penalty for that in Qatar?
