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.

I’m shocked how many lemmy users think Nazis should be allowed to exist. Like, they forgot what they are or something.

Make Nazis Afraid, Again. This time, it's head shots only. No trials.

I'm more annoyed at how many Brits seem unaffected by Robinson's brand of mob violence right up until they think a Russian might be involved. It's nativism coming and nativism going. Nobody seems to want to grapple with the problem of local white Britons being absolutely out of pocket.

Zack Polanski does, and he’s the only one doing it credibly. Check out his Bold Politics podcast if you’re interested.

I would love to support Zack Polanski, but the British Press just told me he is being puppeteered by Jihadi Extremists, the Yellow Menace of the Far East, and the insidious hand of the Radical Transgender Communist movement.

Radical transgender communist movement? Where do I apply!

My favourite is “The Green Menace”. Another one I saw today referring to the excellent Mehdi Hasan: “Left-wing troublemaker”.

I laugh because the tabloids are unhinged, but they’re unhinged because it’s effective among certain cohorts.

Zack Polanski's manifesto looks like something a 14 year old twitter user would write to be rebellious. It's like a guide on how to destroy the country

[–] Seimhe@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Whose manifesto reads better?

If you're talking about reform's, both are vibes based.

[–] Seimhe@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

It’s a genuine question, not a statement.

Do you have any examples of people actually like this? Or are you making up a person to be mad at.

Most of the people I've seen who critise Robinson also critise Lucy Connolly, who has (AFIK) no links to either Russia or Israel like Robinson.

[–] Semjeza@fedinsfw.app 3 points 16 hours ago

Really?

Cause I think we have a track record in the UK of not caring, regardless of evidence of foreign backing. The proof of the extent that Farage's various poor excuses for a piss up party had Trumpist as well as Russian backing was huge, but never seemed to get in their way.

A bit of Nazism, as a treat.

At least shitloads of them are currently being slaughtered.

You guys are going down the same dead end fascist path that the US has gone down

Russian spy Oswald Mosely

Hang on, i need to go find out what Sharon Osbourne thinks about it.

~~Tommy Robinson~~ Stephen Yaxley-Lennon should be charged for treason. He's clearly trying to cause disorder to assist our enemy (Russia)

Well doesn't this sound awfully familiar.
