UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Any links for this? I've wondered about that from the beginning, but I haven't seen anyone "official" come out and suggest it.
There was a comment on a post yesterday listing all the sources that were aware of the very specific hamas plans. I think it was BBC, NYT, The Times that reported on it very quickly.
US, Egyptian and Israeli intelligence agencies knew about the plans and warned several Israeli military and government officials about the plan but they "disregarded it as too hard to pull of for hamas".
Now i dont know how much crack they smoke over there, but if i lived in a country that gets bombarded regularily by my neighbouring country, i think i would take a warning like that VERY serious. The fucking BBC knew about the potential for an attack before it happened.
The Shin Bet even specifically discussed the possible danger to the Nova music festival right before the attack but didnt do anything at all. Like bro you have drones, just send some out there and check if you can see anything suspicious if you arent sure.
You can sift through all the sources of the wikipedia article about the attack but the details dont even matter. They failed their country one way or another. We will never know if it was on purpose but to the dead people and their families it makes no difference. They are dead.
