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.

BBC claim they didn't notice the n word, despite a 2 hour delay between filming and them broadcasting.

But they did notice the phrase "Free Palestine" and chose to censor it. What justification could they possibly give for censoring "Free Palestine" as a supposedly impartial broadcaster? Hmm...

Convenient Tourettes is inconvenient The spot-on timing of the comment and its relevance to the situation leave an impression of willful action. It's apparently not the case, and the fact that the person who made the comment left the building after making the comment is indicative of understanding the offensiveness of the comment. Free Palestine does not require any apology from anybody.

Tourettes can be triggered more the more inappropriate the setting is... hence timing and relevance issue

You could have made that easier to understand.
