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.

Anyone who claims these are anti-semitic is obviously caricaturophobic, and possibly a cartoonophobe in addition.
I've seen cartoons of King Charles that put these to shame. The more grotesque, the better, in my book... one of my favorite such artists is Ralph Steadman.
Anyway, this is another example of constant bullshit artists have to put up with, they are often treated with contempt. I'm glad at least a few papers are still employing cartoonists, soon it will all be gone and we'll be left with USA-Weekly-style generic trash.

When the caricature doesn't look at all like the person and is instead merely a well known historical antisemitic caricature applied to them (Happy Merchant), I will have to staunchly disagree.
