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.

Seriously the unmarked federal police force killed a guy and left some kids to rot in a van in the middle of a road near me this week. Other countries should put the us in the same bucket as north korea and russia till it gets back to following its traditional laws.

Which ones are the "real Britons"? the Celts? the Romans? the Normans? the Saxons?

We need to decide this with a "Great British Brit Off". I'm sure Channel 4 will commission it.

The decider will be who makes the best curry. The winner gets to claim real Britishness.

My time has come! Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuule Britanniaaaaaaaaaa! Britannia rules the waaaaaaaves, Britons never, never, never, will be slaaaaaaaaaves!

Unless, of course, it's to US tech-bro billionaires, Russian oligarchs, Eton hedge-fund fuckbois, Australian media deathlords, or a range of other vastly wealthy skidmarks.

It ain’t Trump arresting people for supporting Palestine Action. You’re protesting foreign fascists, but the call is coming from inside the house.

Absolutely. And they are.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're proposing local fascists as well, what's your point?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

My point is don’t let the media get you so distracted by fascism in another country that you let it fester in your own.
