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! :'(

The last time far-left supported far-right was in 1939. With Molotov-Ribbentrop pact left-wing USSR joined forces with right-wing Nazi Germany. This union ended up with the Holocaust as we all know.
Now, when I see left "progressives" teaming up with right terrorist groups on a basis of hating Jews, it doesn't make me feel good.
Mate you are talking out of your arse here.
No, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact did not cause or lead to the Holocaust. Jewish people were already being persecuted and sent to concentration camps long before 1939.
I don't think you know what's going on that's not what's happening. No one is joining up with any terrorist groups. All that is happening is that people are saying that maybe the war shouldn't be happening the terrorist groups need dealing with but the way you do that isn't to bomb the entire civilian population out of existence.
I know it's complicated
Wars are not "happening". One group of people attack another group of people, and another group of people have to defend themselves. In order to "stop war" you're saying that another group of people should just die without fighting back.
If you just going to make stuff up then there's no point talking to you.
We are calling on Israel to stop attacking Gaza. Literally nothing else is happening. There's no other conspiracy there's no other plan.
Go look it up or don't.
You're going to have to be a bit more concrete with your assertions rather than use the vagueries of "left" and "right".
Can you state exactly what you saw so we can dismantle your assumptions one by one please.
I think you're a little confused about what happened today.
Try to explain that to the "fighters of freedom" beheading another victim.
The far right groups present were mostly on the cenotaph protection thing, which the Palestine march was never going near. There were arrests there for hate speech.
About the half of organizers of this march are directly connected to Hamas
Given Hamas is a proscribed group in the UK, and the organisers were working in close collaboration with the Met, please ellaborate with evidence your rather rowdy claim that the Met just organised a protest with criminals.
Well that's a thing you just made up with no factual basis.
Where is your independently verified source? Or do you just like spreading unfounded conspiracy theories?
Try harder Hasbara
