Don't beat about the bush. Labour's position is supporting apartheid, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

You're posting those links like I've said anything to imply Israel isn't committing those crimes. It is, I fully agree and already know. I said what I said to make the point that all else aside, the Green EW resolution is describing even the most optimistic version of Labour policy as racist, and therefore the two parties seem incompatible in coalition

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.
