General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

So you think that some speech should be banned?

Ironic statement given the post. Speech has been banned, all that's left to do is quibble about what speech.

Should speech supporting genocide be banned, or should speech protesting genocide be banned?

Maybe neither should be banned? Also I'm not "supporting genocide", I just look at the casualty numbers and they're consistent with a war, not a genocide. The word "genocide" has been weaponized and that's rationalizing the use of violence which doesn't help anyone.

These "Palestine Action" idiots are not helping Palestinians in any way. They're narcissists doing vandalism to increase their standing within a internet small bubble. That's all they're doing.

You're reading words I've written, that's speech but apparently some people around here think that should be banned. Do you think words should be banned and vandalism by narcissists should be legal?
