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.

No where in this text can I see a quote from him saying that he'd legalise all drugs. This "public health approach" sounds like decriminalisation, which is what I'd advocate for, but not legalisation, I don't want to be seeing Tesco value acid available behind the counter, right?

Tesco value acid

Yes, I would want to see that, I don't understand the objection.

Is Big Daz's looney tabs, which are on offer from your local dealer currently, any better somehow?

I'd take some taste the difference ketamine while racking up lines with my club card.

When I was younger, I'd have thrown my support behind this.

Now that I'm older and world-wiser, I'm much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I'm against cocaine, it's just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

Right, but people take all those drugs anyway even though it is illegal.

All prohibition does is mean it's unregulated, unsafe and a huge waste of policing resources and ruined lives (mostly via enforcement).

Drugs should be a health issue, not a policing one.

That dude definitely looks like he has asked you at a party if you had any coke or E
