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.

It was alleged that between 20 December and 2 May, the trio agreed to undertake information gathering, surveillance and acts of deception that were likely to materially assist a foreign intelligence service.

It added: "The IOPC have assessed that referral and decided that the matter should be investigated by Thames Valley Police's Professional Standards Department."

Trickett's solicitor Julian Hayes, a senior partner at Berris Law, said: "It has sadly been confirmed by Thames Valley Police, that the body found... was that of our client.

Trickett, who was from Maidenhead, was formerly employed by the UK Border Force at Heathrow Airport, before joining Home Office Immigration Enforcement in February this year.


The original article contains 612 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Really bot, that's the best summary? That second paragraph has nothing to do with the article.
