United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.
There's a difference between being ok with acts of sabotage and expressing schadenfreude when witnessing such a high level of obliviousness.
I mean, it's painfully obvious to most people that acts of sabotage ought to be expected in our current times and have been happening for some years now even. Yet to be so unprepared for this kind of thing that any random person can just waltz into your military base and have a field day with your aircrafts, it deserves to be shamed. It's humiliating and rightfully so.
Everyone expected better and if this is the status in every EU country currently at risk, then making fun of this kind of pure stupidity is very much warranted. Otherwise, we're truly and absolutely fucked in case of an actual conflict.
You experience satisfaction seeing our defence sector being sabotaged? Particularly when we're in a proxy war with Russia and the world in general is becoming more hostile?
I enjoy watching them put on a play of The Emperor's New Clothes. If that's what they wish to show off, why not applaud?
Yikes. Actually wanting to put everyone in the UK at greater risk.
Whoosh.
Security theater without actual security is the thing putting everyone at risk.
