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.

And risk getting twatted with a terrorism sentence despite not being tried for terrorism?

The Govt knows exactly what they're doing and unless we collectively do something about it, the UK depicted in V for Vendetta is closer to reality than people think.

The UK's own version of Fox News continues it's work in misinforming and winding up the gormless berks that take it's every word as gospel truth. A Reform led Government is very possible in a couple of years if Burnham doesn't get everyone on-side with actual results, which is a big fucking ask given the circumstances.

It is noticeable that the Green protest movement has been seriously worked on by the state. Much of this is the draconian infringements on the right to protest but it's mixed with the mainstream media refusing to report on what climate protests occur combined with the state's boosting of the Green Party as a vehicle for distracting protest. Those in comtrol would tolerate a handful of Green MPs and Green-led councils rather than hundreds of thousands on the streets involved in protest and direct action.
