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.

Fascists? Virtually the entire house of commons voted them a terrorist organisation, not just Labour. That was because they attacked UK military aircraft on a UK military base and concocted an excuse for doing it. That got them branded terrorists.
This does not in any way stop people rallying for Palestine or the appalling inhuman injustices they're suffering. I'm sure there are marches happening all the time, not to mention charities to donate to, social media feeds to amplify atrocities. Just don't attack UK bases or support those who do and you'll be fine.
As for Corbyn, he wasn't "stabbed in the back". He lost two general elections in a row and he resigned. If he was still there for the last election he'd be sitting in opposition in charge of an even smaller party surrounded by a clique. He was not some saviour for Labour, he was the bane of it.
"Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims."
If you call this terrorism, you can call anything terrorism, and anybody can be a terrorist. If you're willing to do that to aid the Israel fascist state, that makes you a fascist. Yes, the entire house of commons are fascists.
And sure, that was very much illegal and they could have used any number of laws applicable to attacking a military base. Just not terrorism. But the UK military is involved in a partnership in the gaza war. They are not "non-combatants"
It's what UK law considers terrorism.
the military does not deserve any protection from citizens and should never be an excuse to call people terrorists.
Right. Doesn't change the fact about UK law considering their actions terroristic.. You know, what this thread is about.
