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.
So why does he get deported to the UK when the others get deported to Uganda or El Salvador?
White.
Because he's a fellow Nazi.

How does a Greek-Irish-German Jewish Britain grow up to such a hateful cunt? He's been seriously failed by life.
It doesn't sound like he had a particularly stable upbringing so he probably has a lot of undirected anger towards life in general. Not only were his parents separated, but he didn't spend any time with either of them, you've got to wonder why that was.
Why is it that whenever I hear about these people they're always total nut cases.
It's never "right wing politician says...", it's always "far right political talking head who espouses support for CSAM and human trafficking who is themselves not a resident of the US says...". Why are none of these guys ever normal?
If I wrote a book and everyone in it behaved like these people everyone would rightfully call me out for being a hack who can only write two-dimensional, unrealistic characters.
It's because to hold far right views you basically have to be a nutjob.
We should put together a suicide squad of deported idiot influencers like Tate and this numb-nuts and tell them they’re the elite anti-woke squad. Their job is to walk up to the gate flapping their mouths while the SAS sneak around the back.
How come he gets deported back to his actual home instead of, say, Eswatini?
Damn I was hoping they would just send him to Brazil or something.
Perhaps we should just send him back and tell him to adopt a less foreign sounding last name. Let's see if the Americans pick him up again if he claims his name is Michael Smith or something.
I love their choice of picture.
His most recent photo (taken this week & on Wikipedia) isn't much better.
I can almost hear the tone of voice in this picture.
“He fell out of favor in conservative circles after the publication of a video in which he condoned sexual relations with boys as young as 13.” A pity the USA didn’t keep this little piece of scum.
It wasn't the pedophilia the administration had issue with, it was the gayness
The administration is fine with Peter Thiel, Sam Altman et al. It's the fact that he's not got money and influence.
Ugh. We don't want him back
Spaceman looking at two buttons: fuck ICE / fuck this guy.
No. Fucking. Way.
Lol
Noo surely the Gestapo won't come for me if I lick their boots
Ok fine, but you're keeping piers morgan and steve hilton right?
