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.

Fuck this "Labour" government. Once again proving that we are dogs of the US.

[–] digitalFatteh@lemmy.ca 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

These fucks are no more labour than the conservatives.  They got a taste of the money and decided to scab every fucker moving up the line.  Whole lot of em are rotten to the core,  sellouts one and all.

That makes the UK a legitimate target for Iran.

Congratulations.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Keir Starmer rolled over and showed his yellow belly to trump again. Keir, you're too old for him!

Will the US pay for the bases when Iran destroys them?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

yeah its like have they hit those bases because they will if strikes come from them 100%.

Iran launched drones at the UK bases on Cyprus and Riyadh long before any announcement that the UK would let the US use them.

I'm definitely opposed to the war with Iran but let's put facts first; Iran through their proxies have been indiscriminately firing on ships in the gulf for nearly a decade and when the US and Israel attacked them they launched missiles and drones at pretty much every cluster of buildings near to the Gulf with no concern for what they might hit or any apparent strategy.

The fact is Iran are going to attack UK bases whether the UK is involved or not.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

well see I can see allowing the strikes then. These are things countries decide to do so even if they had not or had really struck in the past I think the big thing is if iran as struck it since the invasion began. Basically are they asking for it (iran that is). im not british though so peanut gallery here. you know if was kinda nice back in the day when a democracy sorta had to get an attack to start attacking a place. pretty sweet those days.

so does that mean Starmer's in the Epstein files?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today -1 points 8 hours ago

or trying to avoid naming more of thier "precious royals' who are likely in the files.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Airstrip One, for instance, had not been so called in those days: it had been called England, or Britain, though London, he felt fairly certain, had always been called London.[9]

Yes there's currently live updates on BBC and a couple of articles. Why would you ask?

Some Oil billionaire or 2 has paid him to help move his oil through.

Likely after buying bitcoin fakes from trumps mushroom stains. Failed to convince the rest of the world to help.
