West was due to headline the festival in July but drew criticism over past antisemitic comments.

      Members of the isreali government makes sense. I don’t think that’s the gotcha you may be thinking.

          Yup. I’d say they fall under “hate promoters”, I mean they’re trying to genocide an entire population. Leave the Palestinians alone and let them have their land. Not to mention now they’re attacking Syria.

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.
