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.

Margaret Thatcher 2.0 appears to have been fully activated.

I thought that was May and then Truss

I'm starting to think we're just seeing beta versions rather than the final 2.0 release. Or is this more of a Norton antivirus thing where every subsequent release is less effective than the previous?

May could have been a good Thatcher but for the lack of balls. Truss could have been a good Thatcher but for the lack of a brain.

The former, a school administrator elevated well beyond her abilities, the latter, a child with a head full of Tory rhetoric but no means to innovate or extrapolate.

In a way, we should be glad we got them and not Maggies mark 2.

Thatcher 2.0 will feature a lot more antipersonnel weapons for direct engagement with the poor.

Imagine a decaying zombie Maggie with one hand replaced with a circular-saw, the other with a gutting-hook, and one eye replaced with a lazer.
