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 had multiple friends who dressed like him and used his affectations during his peak popularity in the noughties. No SA's though fortunately.

Looking back it was pretty much like a license to act more camp in public.

I never understood his appeal. He's just vulgar. It's not funny. His appearance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.

Easier to say with hindsight, there is literally a gif of him flashing people on a red carpet event but no one batted an eyelid at the time.
