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.

When I'm in a "don't comprehend nuance" competition and my opponent is the average Trekkie. Bet you like discovery!

We're done here.

Woah there we got a tough guy on the internet.

I don't want to talk to someone who thinks leaving people to die needlessly in ambulances is a good thing.

And is this someone in the here with us right now?

Because you made up a strawman in your head. I never said it is a good thing to leave people to die in ambulances needlessly.

But all the most effective protests and riots in history have had their casualties, and yet brought us the quality of life we enjoy today. That's not fee-fees, that's historical fact.

There's no need to get so worked up and upset that you must twist my words to make them easier to attack.

People being charged for crimes they've committed isn't fascism.

Yeah if you strip away all context from an action nothing can be anything. The anti-protest law isn't fascistic either, it's just a bill to keep the peace.

The mother of the person who was jailed said it was wrong as it meant her son wouldn't be able to attend a wedding in America, which was retweeted by JSO.

Yeah I'll agree with you there. I don't defend those cringelords as individuals, most anprims and other climatoids are absolute morons beyond all help.

Okay, now we're actually done :)
