General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Because she correctly identified it as a genocide...

St Andrews University's rector has been removed from her role on the university court in a row over comments she made on the Israel-Gaza war.

Stella Maris sent an email to all students referring to "genocidal attacks" by the Israeli government, shortly after she was elected in October.

You can support Israel's genocide but they cancel the fuck out of you if you oppose it.

Are we really stooping to quoting American neo-Nazis now?

There's enough shittery going on with Israel deliberately conflating legitimate criticism of their genocidal actions with actual anti-semitism without feeding it by people using nazi quotes as an argument.
