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.

Sounds like the guardian wanted to get rid of him for a while. Apparently he has been involved in antisemitism incidents in the past. They don't need the controversy he brings.

Perhaps he can get a job at the Daily Mail.

The Guardian was started by Unitarians who are supposed to be open to ideas, but now it fully embraces cancel culture and censorship, like any orthodoxy.

Ah, a conservative favorite. No thanks, I'm not in to mindless cruelty like right-wingers.

Careful with that pitchfork, Eugene. Free speech is a civil liberty, not right wing.

Yeah and it's within everyone's free speech to say they don't wanna platform you any more. Whine more.

Ooof. Very brave of you to say this. RIP your inbox.

That's how far democracy has gone down the drain, that even criticising cancel culture is 'brave'.
