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.

Absolutely astonishing

You tempt fate when naming a vessel after an analytical framework of probability.
Co-defendent just confirmed dead in unrelated incident. Crazy bad luck for both of them.
Have to say, I'm bfinding the coincidence hard to swallow. Especially given them being found guilty of multi billion dollar fraud against HP
Not guilty, m'lud.
You mean not guilty surely?

Crazy bad luck.
the yacht, sailing under the name Bayesian, sank after encountering a heavy storm overnight that caused waterspouts,
Well, given the chance that it either sinks or doesn't sink in a storm, and that it either storms or doesn't storm...
Isn’t the chairman of Morgan Stanley missing too?
Edit: yep
Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo are among the six people missing after a luxury yacht sank in a storm off Sicily on Monday, Sicily's Civil Protection told the BBC.
Why was there a one-year-old on board?
I'm guessing there with a parent.
