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.
Maybe they need to acquire special expertise in killing and maiming civilians?
how many more fucking seats does starmer need to grow a fucking spine? He has a 73 seat majority, 398 fucking seats. does it have to pass the 100 mark? or does he need all 650 seats before he does anything worthwhile?
Sorry, am I missing something? Don't the Army train their soldiers themselves? They're literally training Ukrainian recruits and special forces and have a proven track record in training other forces so why do we now suddenly have to rely on 3rd party contractors to do it?
The word you are looking for is corruption.
People need to start reading between the lines and calling this vermin out for what it is. British regime whores are giving away money to Israeli corpos because Israeli corpo paid for the contract.
It could also be a case of the Israeli gov's mafia-grade quid pro quo — same as the USA — with Israeli lobbyists threatening to target politicians who vote against Israels financial interests.
No doubt but most of the time... Its just regime whores doing it for money.
But yeah, the ones with shred of dignity will be pressured with more traditional means
Maybe it's related to practical use of tech like drones and such that they might've expertise in since they actively monger war with their neighbours and have fresh experience with using advanced weapons to commit war crimes?
Europe loves Israel for its "battle tested" tech in the Palestinian concentration camp.
I think Ukraine would be best to give that kind of training and they'd appreciate the money too.
Love that for us...
I suppose they've had the chance to test a lot during their genocide in Palestine.
Can't help but wonder why we aren't looking towards someone like Ukraine or Independent UK contractors.
