United Kingdom
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.

Having just arrived in the UK, we bumped into these people today. My wife questioned who they were and I said "They look like ultra nationalists". "I'm not sure" she pondered "they're wearing a lot of pink. It might be something more progressive". Then she asked a supporter with a young daughter "We stand against attacks and sexual assault of women and children....which is caused by illegal immigrants". My wife turned to me and said "no you're right. they're fascists".
It took one sentence to betray their real motives. And what bad taste to dilute something serious like sexual assault.
TIL Jimmy savile, Ian Huntley and Fred West were illegal immigrants ๐
