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 am triggered that you have a problem with a tweet showing the uk complicity with israeli settler colonialism and genocide, not that you called me a tankie
Do you have any proof of that complicity or do you consider this tweet by a well established russo-apologist good enough?
Okay okay, look I'm sorry, I shouldn't have validated this information, please stop downvoting me, champion.
Is amnesty pro russia toi zionazi?

Of course not, those are very valuable resources and I do appreciate them - kudos to you, not kidding
That being said - my point stands that this particular tweet from Matt Kennard was pure speculation, as he did not provide any of these sourced. And that he is, in general, a russian propagandist in denial.
uk share inteligence with a genocidal state and sell them weapons it is a fact whatever a russian propagandist or the devil says it
A fact I wasn't aware of but now I am thanks to you, but not thanks to Matt. You can stop being so dense, dude.
