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.

only 15 of 56 commonwealth members have king charles as head of state, so it would be kinda werid and against the spirit of things to wave it out of royalist sympathy. You could fly the Royal Standard, but I'm pretty sure that's technically a hangin' if you aren't actually in the presence of the king.

Given how many of them also believe that the royal family is part of multicultural conspiracy to replace the English with bug-eating foreigners, various interregunum flags would mage sense too.

You're quite right, and there isn't actually a flag of Derby, and the Derbyshire flag isn't that old, but none of that matters, because they aren't flying the flags out of patriotism.

One can only hope Charles ends like his namesake.
