United Kingdom
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.

If I accidentally killed someone and was remorseful about it, I could still be convicted of manslaughter. If I kill thousands and "joke" about it in a callous manner I can expect to get... what? A slap on the wrist?
Only in fairly limited circumstances. Where your own choices lead to an accident you should have known was likely to lead to an accident.
Being a dumb idiot with the brains of a rhubarb plant. Would be a valid defence. Even if folks were dumb enough to vote that plant for PM.
Edit: I feel the urge to apologise to any rhubarb who may be reading this.
No rhubarb was harmed in the making of this post.
