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.

Wait hold up... Is that the same Ball company that makes the mason jars?

Ball Mason Jar

No it's the ball company that makes fake mason jars. (Well assuming it's the same company. I honestly have no idea. But my point is)

Because the mason jar was made by Mason the company.

Yeah. The original owners also built the house where Bob Ross filmed the joy of painting. I think the aerospace division was spun off in the 90s tho

~~This is… a weird thing to report on isn’t it?~~

~~Like, I’m sure there are plenty of parts from many different companies from dozens of countries inside these things. Unless the components are something substantial, like “tomahawk missile only” parts, I don’t really understand the significance.~~

Ignore me, I should have read the article first.

I guess the US won't be stopping us telling Ukraine to go crazy with stuff we give them even if they have US parts then
