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.

What happened to there being no legal basis for the ban?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

That's because the courts are spineless. They said there is no legal basis for the ban, but they're not going to actually do anything about the ban.

Pathetic. What was the point in having the court case then?

I thought they had announced they were no longer arresting after the courts had called the home office rules into question.

What changed?

They changed their mind

UK police exam:

There are 2 people, both carry a sign:

1 "I support Palestine"
2 " action now"

At what distance from each other do they become terrorism supporters?

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Where are the signs they refer to? Or is that the joke 🤔?

All I see is Quakers for Peace and Jews For Palestine.

It looks like the majority of the signs are facing away from the camera. Or at least the people are and appear to be holding signs. Unsure why the bigger ones are visible

Not a real country. Imagine ~~bragging~~ humiliating yourself like this on x the everything app

They do it all the time.

They'll brag about their big drug bust and it'll be 5 g of weed and a box cutter.
