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.
Maybe stop locking up protestors who are trying to bring awareness to genocide and the literal destruction of the planet.
this is hilarious from the shithole country that locks people up for saying the words "palestine" and "action" in that order
I'm British and when that happened my take was basically, Palestine Action was a proscribed group and technically it's against the law in the UK to support a proscribed group so I figured it was just a temporary issue where the law was being applied too broadly... But it's been years, and it's still an issue. I really hope Burnham addresses this when he becomes PM later this month.
One of those things that is both true and wildly misleading. Maybe sex offenders aren’t the ones to be considering for early release when there’s people sat in jail for, and don’t get me wrong, very real crimes but crimes that didn’t have actively attacking and abusing someone at their core 🤔
“I was with a father whose daughter had been horribly groomed in my constituency just a few weeks ago. It is hugely important that when the perpetrators of this crime are arrested, they can be sent to prison.”
Yes, just not for very long 😒
