    How does this ban work in practice?

    Oh hai, I would like to import these goods.

    Please state where they are from.

    Illegally occupied Israeli settlements.

    Sorry computer says no.

    How about: illegally occupied Israeli settlements Israel?

    Approved. Nice doing business with you.

    Something like that?

      It probably doesn’t impact many products or businesses, but I think it’s more symbolic and makes an actionable statement against Israel.

    It’d be too much to actually stop military cooperation and arms sales, though.

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.
