United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

It's purely financial. We make a lot of weapons and we like selling them. The best customers are the ones currently using the weapons, since that lets us test them in the field and guarantees that they'll want to buy more since they've just exploded the last order.
I honestly don't think they care who the weapons are being used against, and the "antisemetic" label is little more than a shield used to deflect criticism. If the bombs were being used by Saudi Arabia to level Israel, I'm confident that the political apathy would be similar.
If you want them to care about more than that, they have to believe you'd vote for a party opposed to selling weapons to genociders, but instead of Green, the country voted Labour with their stated unshakeable support for genocide so... we get who we vote for.
