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 didn't vote for him!

Someone had to say it :-)

Unelected and unaccountable - a perfect combination for the head of state.

[–] essellburns@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If we had a vote, I don't think he would vote for him either

[–] Flax_vert 2 points 1 year ago

We'd vote for president Boris Johnson most likely lmao

You think this is a joke? That guy you look up to is part of the reason the British people are going hungry.

Fuck you and your "king".

i seem to remember the Queen had 4 birthdays a year or something. Is this the official one or one of the made up ones?

[–] Flax_vert 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. This is his actual birthday. The official one happens in June. It's because they would get a parade every year on their birthday, until a King came who had a birthday on a winter day with miserable weather. So then the tradition was to celebrate it on a separate day.

By that logic you're also a paedo because you were able to identify the king allegedly being one

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nope. I have no association with him.

The fact that you’re so quick to rush to defend a pedo makes it clear you’re a pedo, otherwise you wouldn’t take it so personal.

[–] Flax_vert -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or maybe it's not a good idea to call somebody who isn't a paedo a paedo because their brother had sex with a 17 year old who was being trafficked

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No I think it’s a fantastic idea to call people out on their bull shit.

Why are you defending this clown? What’s your agenda? Are you a paid shill or something?

Or even better. Let me guess. You live in the UK and you’re one of those people who glorifies these idiots.

[–] Flax_vert 0 points 1 year ago

I live in the UK. I don't want a conservative clown as my head of state. The south of England has voted in clowns for years. They voted for brexit and screwed up this nation. Giving them total control of the country is the worst possible idea. I'd trust His Majesty the King or the Prince of Wales any day over one of those self-interested "members of parliament"

Happy birthday Your Majesty! :)
