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.

That’s a solid burn though.

It's not even a burn, if the officer is older they could very well look like that girl's lesbian grandmother. And if they do, so what?

Exactly. The girl was stating a fact and it reminded the cop of when he used to get made fun of in grade school.

I can't believe this girl said her lesbian grandmother looked like a pig

Yeah when I'm older I would be rather upset if my kid compared me to a cop. Bullying someone for being old or whatever is really fucking gross. Lesbian grandmas deserve just as much respect, if not more, than most people. If anything, it was a compliment.
