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.

I mean, Nelson Hah-hah, but I can't help but wonder how a guy manages to be quite successful and then toss it all away like he has. Is it a lack of comprehension? Does he get so shit-faced he can't help blurting out some twattery on Shitter? Or does he just lack any kind of filter and sense of self-preservation?

He's from a rich family and has tried acting, singing and politics to get famous. None of it worked, so he's resorted to playing the 'right-wing grifter' game. A decent base believes he should be able to say anything he wants on twitter without consequence, and that's the base he's playing to.

He is part of an incredibly entitled family. He probably thinks what he says is normal and what's wrong with everyone why are they being mean to him? It's sad that people like this exist but they do.

He's from a nepotistic family. Look up his siblings and dad, they've all been in fucking, lewis.
