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.

"Malicious communications"? A heinous crime indeed! So when is Trump getting arrested for it, together with most if not all politicians?

Yeah, that's the UK for ya. A ton of random bullshit laws lol

If that's malicious communication then Tommy Robson probably is up for the death penalty. Except strangely not.

Well Trump is American and they adhere to free speech to the point of insanity so nope there.

They don’t really. People are losing their jobs, getting kicked out the country, etc. For saying the wrong words.

It’s “free speech only if you agree with the government”.
