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.

I feel like only one person calling you stupid isn't enough, so I'd like to add that this is one of the stupidest collections of words I have ever read.

I genuinely hope you make statements like this in your daily life. After all, the world needs humor.

hey leave them alone. stupidity has nothing to do with it. are they right or wrong? sorry, but the facts matter here and I'm not trusting popular opinion to figure out immigration law

this place feels more like reddit lately

Google it. You'll find out immigration law is a very amorphous place and when the people who make you legal or not also deport you they're zero accountability. Trump already said to cancel all legal status of south Sudanese immigrants. That's legal immigrants. He just decided they aren't any more. No one's talking about how entirely bullshit this is.

i was about to write an actual response but honestly, it's entirely likely "you" aren't even even a real person so i'm just going to tell anyone reading this to eat more fibre for better gut health.

fuck off with that dehumanizing shit. you can write off dissonant perspectives with whatever rationalization you want but dont call me a bot. all i said was "we shouldn't get our facts from social media comments" especially when the only challenge is "that's dumb". and you think that sounds like some inflammatory bot out there slowing convos and sowing skepticism? on a tiny platform? are you kidding me

take your condescending faux advice and weaponized politeness elsewhere. apology is also welcome if you prefer
