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.

No I didn't? It was a joke, until it was then adopted by the right as a dog whistle because it was a joke.
I think it might be you that's not fully understanding
The entire point is to co-opt seemingly innocuous or common symbolism
You obviously did. "OK means White Power" was a practical joke established at 4chan (well, where else could it be?). Unsurprisingly, many people can't tell the difference between troll jokes and reality these days.
But please continue spreading the joke.
edit: Editing your comment after someone has replied. Classic. I'll end this discussion here.
I'm not sure if this is serious or not. Yes. It started as a joke. What's your point? Its since been adopted as a dog whistle precisely so dumbasses like you will do the work of right-wingers for them
The people who can’t tell the difference are the ones who use it without intending it to be a joke. 4chan “jokes” leak into the real world now, without being jokes.
You think pretty highly of yourself eh lol.
