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.

So it looks the ECHR is also now in Sunak's crosshairs.
May raised a good point that just removing ECHR doesn't actually make Rwanda lega by itself, we would still have to make further changes to do so. However I do not actually think that matters to them as ECHR has always been the goal here, Rwanda never really scaled to be a proper solution to the problem even if it wasn't unethical and was legal. The entire small boats issue has always been a Tory manufactured excuse to drum up outrage.
