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.

While I do wish he would just disappear and we never hear from him again I do think that he'll spike viewers for GB News, which had made my disappointment of this news a hundred times worse. It was just getting to the point that GB and Talk TV would have to merge or go bust now this happens.

What makes it even worse than GB continued existence is that he's going to be the subject of so many stupid memes as he just cannot help himself with his dumb comments (or he does it on purpose, you decide).

Echo you completely. Race to the bottom.
