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.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have joined calls for the British government to place British citizens who have served in the Israeli military under surveillance.

Polanski signed an open letter organised by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper urging them to "track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF" and "subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry".

The letter called for "robust war crimes investigations in line with domestic and international law".

Around 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals have served in the Israeli military during Israel's war on Gaza, which a UN commission of inquiry found was a genocide last year.
