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 like how he said he maybe couldn't win "numerically" but that there are other ways to win. To me, Binface is the real winner here

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Binface’s opponent is trash.

[–] maam@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

Yup, gotta clean the bin after dumping the frog wanker.

[–] Tweak@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

In his downtime I think he should consider touring with Angine de Poitrine. They're black and white/white and black, he's grey, they're all aliens; it would be a mash up made in heaven.

[–] pottery@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

His voice act was breaking there. A little tired perhaps?

[–] maam@feddit.uk 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Nigel Farage has 512k Youtube subs vs Count Binface's 195k (38%) 2/8/2026 from to 219k (42%) 13/8/2026

Keep supporting our intergalactic space champion!

What's he going to do if he actually gets voted into office? He can't keep committing to the bit in that situation can he?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He's actually got good views, I honestly think he'd make a decent politician.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Kind of seems like. Just heard it didn't pan out but apparently the guy he was protesting is being investigated as a result of getting his seat back?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Yes, we wanted his corrupt ass to win so the investigation into his corruption can proceed.

Literally anything is better than what that wankstain has done. But IIRC he has said a little while back he would actually go listen to people in Clackton and then represent their needs in parliament.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay. I think I must have sounded like I doubted his sincerity or commitment. I don't, I just didn't think he was actually planning at all for the possibility of winning. Given from what I've heard of the situation that actually sounds pretty nice

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

His commitment is to the satire, not to the idea of having to be an MP.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Unfortunately you can't wear hats or armour in parliament

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 9 points 1 week ago

He can put a hole on the top and say its a very big collar

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uhh I call bullshit. What kind of UK institution bars noblemen from donning their battle regalia in office?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

His videos refer to a book by the British politician who originally got elected as a joke, but went on to seriously be one of the most effective MPs. See Columbia, the white elephant costume comes off.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only 43% voter turnout. This is why cunts like Farage stay in power.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The silent majority must side with us, in every region, because the alternative is admitting that some places are just filled with chuds.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

I think there are more terrible people in this world than most of us would like to admit

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

binface massively outperformed the polls, and farage didn't even show up to hear the results to avoid the humiliation

[–] trebach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Farage claimed there was a security threat against him so he couldn't attend. The news asked the head of police at the count and he said this was the first he was hearing of it and everything was perfectly safe there.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

he followed that with he didn't want to be "demeaned and humiliated by nobodies", which is just funny.

also like is binface the establishment or is he a nobody? make up your mind nigel

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

The enemy is both weak and strong

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It's bin an incredible race. The space warrior from Sigma 9 has stolen our hearts.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

He won!? Fuck yeah!

Eat shit, Nigel!
