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.

This isn't isolated to the UK. France, Germany, US, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, Australia. You name pretty much any "Western" country and they're reporting (or not reporting depending how you feel) it like this.

These countries have a vested interest in Israeli aggression succeeding. They flower up the language when asked but they don't give a fuck ultimately. You need to change what interests they are vested in. And good luck with that.

Over the past decade Israel has done deals with it's neighbours in the region for amicable coexistence. UAE being a big one. The countries it hasn't done a deal with they are spanking in an armed conflict and overt assassinations that, with the help of US billions and UN cover, they will win.

The "West" doesn't want to help and neither does a large swathe of the Middle East.
