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.

Something is seriously wrong with such people, and unfortunately they are many.

Yes something is wrong with people attacking others without provocation, however just because they are loud doesn't mean that they are the majority.

I hope they are found and they go to jail.

Absolutely, I hope they did something dumb like grabbing something containing an airtag or so, people like this deserve way worse than whatever punishment they will get.

But with people like that being so common, I'm not sure humanity will make it,

Will make it?

What do you mean by that?

I'm not so sure we even deserve to make it as a species.

Humans are a species, that is not up for debate.

I never claimed they are a majority, but they don't have to be to ruin things.
Will make it as in survive. We are destroying the earth, and a country like USA is not participating in solving the problem, despite being the richest country in the world, and a major contributor to the problem.
A clear sign of sociopathy on a national scale, a sociopathy that equals the 2 attackers in the alley.

I have no clue how this meaning wasn't obvious?

Any real chance of survival on a galactic timescale has never really been an option.

Your comment was about a horrible attack on a transwoman, and you somehow turned that into an argument about the human species survival?

That is a huge leap in logic!

The attack was perpetrated by reprehensible pieces of shit, absolutely, but it does not affect humanity's possible future survival as a species.
