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.

The problem is they don’t see these people as human, they see them as a neat wedge issue to placate their voter base and distract them from the absolute fucking farce that has been the last few years of Tory rule
What else do we do with them? They're literally coming from France
home them. every western country has so many resources we make The Grapes of Wrath look like The Blueberries of Being a Bit Miffed.
The idea that we're running out of literally anything is a right wing lie to gain popularity
(this is hyperbole, please don't reply mentioning something like running out of oil in 2060, or Helium or some shit that is irrelevant to political asylum)
Ah yes and allow them to come moreso in droves and drown in the sea, while they set up their own little bubbles within our society and refuse to assimilate. No.
Except the whole bit where the government refused to make a deal regarding processing of asylum applications whilst they're still on the French side, inherently creating this issue of them drowning in the sea, heck there still might be some which attempt it, but it'd certainly be lower than the current situation.
By removing legitimate methods to apply for asylum, they've exacerbated this situation.
Counterpoint: Yes.
