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.

You can quite literally buy him on Cameo, is this a joke or something

I didn't believe you at first but you can literally get Nigel farage to say anything for the low price of £69.73+ I'm going to assume he won't say some stuff but still

Someone got him to give a heart warming tribute to Ian Watkins...

He's basically Moe Szyslak without the good looks.

Holy shit that's amazing, he will literally do anything for money

"I can't be bought", says the demonstrably bought politician. Anybody check his pockets for rubles? Small wonder he doesn't leave a trail of them wherever he goes

Translation:

The folks voting for me. Cannot afford to buy me.

Farage is what you get when your geriatric Saint Bernard, that's been eating rotten fish, shits on the carpet, then eats the shit, then throws it up, then rolls in it, then jumps onto your clean bedsheets and rolls around in them too.
