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.

"He told police at the tunnel and said in a later interview at Folkestone police station that his phone contained information about “vulnerable girls” whom he had spoken to during what he described as his journalistic reporting on grooming gangs."

In US this generally ends with a republican having child porn in his phone.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives.

Of all the causes that Musk could support, he supports a nasty little nazi. What a shit stain on humanity the horrible rich nazi is.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that this isn't going to help sales of Teslas in the UK.

sometimes I wonder about that night when I was a kid and wished for a more interesting world, just how cursed that wish was as it slowly begun to unfold

A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Just an unrelated quote from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy that has nothing to do with this story.

He's the son of an immigrant, which never fails to crack me up when I'm reminded of it.

Can we not just bring back the death penalty for this tit. Maybe channel 4 could cover his execution, it seems like their sort of content.
