This week, I joined leaders from civil society calling on the UK government to immediately suspend arms sales to Israel. This is not only the right thing to do but is also what the government should do to uphold its own laws on weapons licensing.

    Many in our government don’t even care about human rights anyway. At what point do we become a so-called “rogue state” of the kind that we’d criticise Russia, Iran, and North Korea for being?

    Since when have the five eyes cared about committing war crimes?

    The massive PR and diplomatic failure of the UK (and to a greater extent Biden’s US government) is that China of all countries is being seen as the sensible nation as it calls for an end to the violence and oppression. China!

    Mad isn’t it?

    Lol, the new season of Vigil (British military copaganda) is exactly about this (except it’s a fantasy middle eastern county to not step on anyone’s toes instead of Israel).

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.
