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.

Honestly, I'm baffled by this. I've been watching this sport for coming up to twenty years. And whilst these sorts of injuries are rare, they do happen.

Recklessness is enough for manslaughter. Do you have a link to the video?

I'd rather not link it. It's pretty easy to find if you Google it. I'd recommend having a finger over the pause button. I've tried my hardest to avoid seeing anything after the incident.

As for the incident. I'm not convinced it was reckless. I've seen so many players completely lose their sh*t just by catching an edge on the ice. Let alone when they're going in for a hit and loose an edge or catch a rut in the ice.
