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.

Why is Katie Price still a thing?

As far as I can remember, she got famous for nothing other than having large breasts.

Beyond that, the last 20 years seem to have been constant attempts to stay relevant with perfumes, books, reality TVs show apprarances, and an inability to understand how basic road safety works.

Why is she still popular, I wonder?

Because she keeps doing stuff like this to stay in the public eye.

Perhaps - I wonder if it's that or the opposite, where her endless string of poor decisions end up being the story rather than about her.

I suppose "subjectively attractive person gets through life without many major dramas" doesn't make for good headlines.

That's what happens when you let Harvey open the mail.
