General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

The UK has been deep into the Israel project since the beginning.

From the Balfour declaration to taking over Palestine after WW1 to crushing the Palestinian uprising in the 1930s to allowing emigration to finally washing its hand of Palestine in 1947 when things got too tricky.

As in the catastrophic partition of India, the UK created the conditions for chaos and then walked away whistling.
