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.

Yeah and Boris charged taxpayers for all kinds of nefarious shit. I know we're using Andrew as the sole poster child / scapegoat for this whole thing, but can we please stick to the point....

Massage... that's what I'm meant to get riled up about?

We're talking about leaking national secrets and predatory sexual actions. BBC needs to get some perspective.

What were the rules when he did so? Was this mere arrogance and poor taste, or was it effectively stealing from the expenses account? BBC says

there is nothing unlawful suggested in Andrew's behaviour

So this is basically just stirring and click bait. The BBC used to be better than this.
