General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

JTAC based their assessment largely on the Filton incident where a police officer suffered possibly life-changing injuries after a PA member attacked them repeatedly with a sledgehammer.
The underlying basis was the definition used in the Terrorism Act, of a group that commits serious damage to property in order to influence government policy. The UK is one of the few places to have such a broad definition.
Oh gosh one person severely injured, that is horrible. I am truly sorry for their suffering as no one deserves treatment like that.
On the other hand there have been a verifiable 172,000 Palestinian injuries with over 72,000 estimated deaths.
The government knew full well what they were doing and anyone defending it should be ashamed to defend this abuse of human rights. There is no doubt in my mind about this because it is a verifiable pattern.
Just like UKs support of Israel.
Of course when the video was released to the courts it showed it was the police officer doing the brutalising on the protester. Not surprising the police would lie.
That and breaking into a military base and damaing hardware.
A military base involved in support genocide thr ultimate form of terrorism
As they falsely claimed. The planes they damaged had nothing at all to do with israel.
Raf bases use elbit system tech so israeli tech
Flying over Palestine and helping the israelis target missles at children sounds like a lot to do with israel.
The planes they damaged did not do any of that.
Just because you want to offload the blame for the genocide entirely on the israelis, doesn't change the reality that the UK has been complicit every step of the way for the eradication of 1000s of Palestinians families
Doesn’t change the reality that the other commenter’s claim that that air base was involved was false.
That incident doesn’t seem to be in the JTAC assessment.
they should be rewarded for that.
