The UK communities secretary decried protests by ‘men in black wearing face masks’ and those ‘whipping up hatred’ towards lifeboat volunteers

    Should not be allowed: far right marches

    Are not allowed: grandparents protesting genocide.

    Nice one.

    Well, that’s that sorted then. I’m sure they won’t be a problem if we simply don’t allow them. The far-right are famous for obeying the law, that and their correctly spelt placards

      The actual goal is to create a precedent to then ban the far left

    She’s right, of course. Although those losers hanging around ports in balaclavas aren’t so much intimidating as just sad. Like, you just know that every one of those guys has lost access to their kids and lives on their own in a shitty little flat above a shop with only Stella and a stupidly oversized telly for company.

    Sounds great but after they do this, leftist protests will be banned too and thats the real goal. The idea that the people who enabled the genocide in gaza want to curb the far right at home is pure fantasy

      Yeah, no one thinks that.

    While we’re at it we should also ban protests about ministers having unpaid stamp duty

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.
