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.

Failing to redress the issues facing young men will push them further towards the far right

in several areas there is now a reverse gender gap, with boys, particularly those from poorer backgrounds, struggling to keep up with girls

Do you think this is an important issue?

I don't think the Israelites are sitting in heaven after several thousand years upset over the few extra weeks they spent in captivity. That's besides the point, Pharaoh's heart was hardened by God removing the Holy Spirit, which is needed for repentance. It's still Pharaoh's free will, after he ignored spiritual conviction

So there's a certain amount of spiritual conviction god could give genociders to convince them to stop while it still being considered free will but refuses?

We're the one that refuses it. Pharaoh was clearly refusing it, and blasphemed the Holy Spirit

The refusing in the statement I made is being done by god, not us. I'm asking if god refuses to do the opposite of what he did to Pharaoh to end modern day genocides since you believe it wasn't robbing Pharaoh of his free will and you believe that free will is necessary for repentance.
