He needs to man up and stop licking America’s boots. We can’t rely on America anymore - probably never could.

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! :'(

Let's face it - at this point, it will take Toby Jones acting in a widely-popular ITV series about the Palestinian genocide for the Government to change their stance on Israel. Has anyone got his contact details?
What's the goal here? The UK (and the US, and the French, and the Germans, and just about anyone you care to mention that has any sort of influence in the region) aren't going to be embarrassed or gotcha'd into calling out the genocide by Israel. So what is the goal here?
At this point the genocide is undeniable but clearly enough people don't give a shit to do anything about it. I wish it were different but I just don't see it happening.
The ultimate goal is for their governments to recognize the genocide convention and immediately halt arms shipments to Israel. Primarily the US, the UK and Germany.
The more of this evidence comes to light the more obvious it becomes to the layman their government is lying through their teeth.

I do agree. But I also think these countries never will because it's not in their interests to do so.

I also fear that the layman doesn't give a shit either. If they did, MPs would be flooded with complaints 24/7 until the genocide was admitted and stopped. But as it happens people are more concerned about getting on the housing ladder and farmers trying to save inheritance tax.
Again, I wish it weren't the case but it is. And I'm sorry there's not a more palatable answer to this. It fucking sucks 😞.
it's not that they dont give a shit (our masters, i mean, people like keith). they like it, or they understand that it's the price of doing business, and wish it were over already. they're just trying to half-assedly manage the public while it goes on.
