A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So we're going to cut subsidies for oil companies to clean up their own mess and reinvest the money into renewable power production, right? Right?
Starmer is a conceited, two-faced little shit, in my humble personal opinion. This is the idiot who led a group of 30+ countries to put pressure on Iran including threatened economic sanctions AFTER they were illegally bombed by the U.S and had needed to respond with their own actions. He is only signaling a position like this because he knows his ass is going to be burned in the next election rounds.
Yep, Spain is much more a leader than the UK at this point
It really is incredible how much global influence both the US and UK have pissed away over the last decade or so.
That means he'll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?
Slow down, there, speedy.
He’s going to start by sending a strongly-worded letter to Donald and proceed from there.
Man people should really stop throwing such powerful words around. There are like what, 200 dead from those strikes? I mean sure, you could say there is ongoing genocide against...hezbollah
They're still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.
It's required a court hearing to stop us from being arrested for protesting for Palestine. Starmer (and almost all others) unlikely to speak out about Israel. So far, we only have Polanski and the Green Party.
Careful, he might become cross. Keep it up and he might become vexed.
It was ?yesterday? when it was being reported, here, how the UK had caught 3 Russian submarines mapping what undersea-infrastructure to cut, to sever the UK's vitals??
UK's on rickety "strength", it seems.. MUCH greater threat than merely having fuel-costs rise..
same as Canada is, after having spent the last century betting-the-farm on US being our automatic ally..
Stupid tunnel-vision indulging..
coming to bite us, soon..

Europa becomes a man.
Hah, well he's welcome to send some ships to the straight and open it up anytime he wants. Funny how Europe was only too happy to have the US spend billions on Ukraine, and won't help to secure their own energy needs. The US doesn't need that oil, they have their own.
So he’s going to kick the USA off the military bases, right?
