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.

Don't get this post personally, just feels like empty nationalism or satire.

What has 'His Majesty' done in those 4 years to back up the claim that he's 'lovingly ruled his kingdom and us'?

Bizarre Lemmy post.

I'm so used to these sorts of post being in bad faith and piss taking. Honestly not sure which one this is 😅.

Warm? That’s not an adjective that has ever been attached to Charles.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Being under his rule is a warm feeling

His Majesty the King is adequately potty trained.

Also, thank you to Sir Keir Starmer for one year as our PM, 9 years as an MP and many years as a civil servant, tirelessly representing the British public's interests. We may not all agree with the politics and decisions made but it's clear how many hours you must spend working so hard for our country. Rule Britannia!

He's okay. Wish he'd let my girlfriend back into the country.
