Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

Renowned British-Palestinian doctor and activist Ghassan Abu Sittah has been fully cleared after an attempt by the pro-Israel group UK Lawyers For Israel (UKLFI) to revoke his medical license was firmly rejected by the Interim Orders Tribunal, the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) announced on Tuesday.

The General Medical Council (GMC) filed the suspension request as part of an ongoing investigation, the ICJP confirmed.

The complaint was initially brought forward by UKLFI, who claimed that Abu Sittah was "unfit" to continue practising medicine over his social media posts and called for his license to be revoked.

The UKLFI attempted "to tarnish Professor Abu Sittah's esteemed reputation and diminish his standing as a prominent figure within the British Palestinian community", the ICJP said.
