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.

Absolutely. Please for the love of all that is good in the world, don't side with the US.

It’s most important to defeat fascism wherever it rears its ugly head

I had the unique pleasure yesterday of watching a long standing British friend of ours tell off my Trump father online yesterday. 40 years? they've been friends? The gloves are indeed coming off and it's a delight.

My dad made friends with an american guy over Facebook because he was trying to find his "roots" here and saw my dad had the same name as his. A few years ago my dad would be giving us updates on the mental stuff he was posting in 2020~ until he got banned. Lol.

As an American, agree. Its not anyone's fault outside the US that my fellow countrymen are fooled and cheering on a buffoon.

I really do think Trump is a Putin puppet put here to kill us Americans and then get a one way ticket to Russia. But the resistance in smaller and tight knit countries should go on. Stay strong.
