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! :'(

I'm still waiting for evidence of this supposed "apartheid" that people keep going on about.
Before October 7th, Palestinians would regularly be welcomed across the border to live and work in Israel if they so wished. Just that simple fact blows the "apartheid" or "prison state" arguments out.
Like genocide, oppression is another thing Israel aren't very good at.
In a non-apartheid state, you wouldn't have to ask and there wouldn't be a border based on your religion. They literally control their movement between zones, and getting permits takes months. It's text book apartheid.
Just look up the marriage laws in Israel.
*Edit because I was being rude.
Have you ever tried living and working in another country before? Because this is literally what you have to do everywhere.
So when the National Party government in South Africa imposed restrictions on travel between made-up areas that basically nobody else in the world recognized as separate countries, that was also not apartheid?
