UK Politics
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 Islamic Regime in Tehran should be toppled at the earliest possible opportunity.
They are enemies of Britain and we do not support them in anything.
The Regime in Tehran should be undermined, opposed, attacked wherever possible.
Let's topple Nazi regime in Tel-Aviv first, before we lecture Iran, shall we?
I've noticed that this sort of rank antisemitism is pretty commonplace on Lemmy, unfortunately.

"alleged wrongdoings" when there's video evidence
"potential human rights abuses"
incarceration, disease and starvation is literally ongoing because of israel's actions
attempted genocide is just a territorial and political issue?
the best case scenario here is that this was just a really clumsy appeal to authority on your behalf
