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.

Instantly jumping to xenophobia over one seemingly bigoted judge seems a bit far. I doubt bigotry is unheard of wherever you're from.

this is not what xenophobia is. thread starter is out of pocket, but the problem isn't xenophobia. xenophobia would be if the thread starter said "every brit is a terf." the thread starter did appropriately lay the blame at the feet of the imperial state, the UK. i take issue with "always" if you are approaching a situation with the attitude of something is always, you are giving up on the possibility of fixing it.

No, they clearly aren't talking about this ruling or this judge, they are talking about the UK as a whole.

As usual, fuck you UK.

Have a look through their comments and they seem to say it a lot/complain about Brits a fair bit.

I am actually from there, but was able to fuck off to mainland EU shortly before Brexit. So there' that...

Your post history says you aren't. Interesting.

Because I grew up in NI for a while (part of the UK) but have been living in Germany for more than half my life since.
