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.

Sausage roll theft is something I wouldn't even expect to hear in satire

[–] GreatAlbatross 12 points 7 months ago

I was more worried about the abuse those poor sausage rolls are being put through!

Sausage roll abuse is beyond the pale

How would you even steal them? They're behind barriers.

[–] FatLegTed 2 points 7 months ago

I was thinking that.

If the staff don't hand over the hot and tasty* baked goods until payment has been received, how can they be stolen? Unless it's a sausjack.

Makes me think of Monty Python's highway man sketch.

*YMMV

Maybe it's the ones in packages out front.

Why anyone would want to steal them is absurd everyone knows fresh out of the oven are best

Probably can't afford to eat

I'm not going to lie, I want this. I walk and use my electric scooter around town and don't mind having a body cam while I'm walking. Sometimes I see something interesting and I can go back to it when I get home or if someone hits me while walking, I'll have video proof.
