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.

Easiest police investigation in history. They got the confession right at the start, usually have to wait till the end for that.

Not that I have any hope this will actually lead to a conviction, perhaps it'll scare Farage out of politics, if it turns out he too has to follow the rules

Reform cultists will explain this as an Establishment stitch up and already claimed it was entrapment.

I reckon Farage could be filmed shaking Putin's hand and taking a plastic bag full of cash from him and agreeing to crash the UK and the cultists and their voters will simply applaud.

You could see at the Reform conference that this is a party of crazy old people who don't want the UK (or the world) to continue without them after they die. It's a death cult.

Don't hold your breath for anything meaningful to come of this. I'll happily be proved wrong.
