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.

Barely had time to dry his feet. Worth remembering that the UK has some pretty strict maritime laws so I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a custodial sentence. I wonder if they will try and pin a terror charge on him?

Rightly so.

And to those who drew a weird comparison to recent unjust charges for left-wing protestors, complaining that this shitstain hadn't been touched: can you connect what's happened today to those comments yesterday/the day before? Can you see that they were premature, and that actually this guy has been arrested quite quickly?

The cynicism on this place is unjustified and EXHAUSTING. yeah lots of things are bad, and we should talk about them. But the cynical, baseless "he won't be touched because he's right wing" needs to go away.
