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.
“It is not, as it claims, a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open. It is a covert organisation that operates using secret cells to avoid the detection and prosecution of those using violence to destroy the property of third parties.
The suffragettes conducted a fucking bombing campaign, often directly against politicians - PA have been extremely restrained in comparison.
UK government weaponising the British justice system to punish its own citizens on behalf of a foreign state committing genocide. Dark days for this country.
*the world
at this point only the green party would tell israel to fuck off
Where do they stand on requiring ID to use most of the internet? They seem like the only choice left
Kinda sounds like Israel owns the "justice" system.
Don't get it twisted, Israel was a British colony from the start.
Yes, it is an extension of western foreign policy, pop the jews in there, act indignant when israel's neighbours fight back against their oppression "you can't hurt the jews look at what they've gone through" it's pretty much the perfect colony
Colour me fucking shocked.
From the FT
The Court of Appeal judgment was handed down by Lady Chief Justice Sue Carr, Master of the Rolls Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Andrew Edis, Lord Justice Clive Lewis and Lady Justice Philippa Whipple.
A quick search of who they are, and what they stand for should show you all you need to know.
Yes, we've investigated ourselves and we found that we did nothing wrong.
Shows the judiciary isn't fit for purpose. These judges need to be deposed.
Did you complain when the Daily Hate Mail described judges as "enemies of the people"?
Yeah, that's the problem. Terrorism laws were a kneejerk reaction to 9/11 and 7/7 that handed sweeping undemocratic powers to ministers without adequate checks that liberal-minded people have consistently been saying would lead to exactly this kind of obvious abuse. The courts have little choice but to accept it - the time to stop it was when the law was passed, but no party (except maybe the Lib Dems) would overturn it because liberalism is dead and not a vote winner.
“Lawful” not mean moral
Just another in a long list.
