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.

I hope youtube videos are allowed in place of news stories... This is straight to the point and speaks for itself unlike many fluff articles filled with ads and sensationalism

In April 2025, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Public Interest Law Centre delivered a detailed, 240-page legal dossier of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed by 10 British citizens while fighting for the Israeli military in Gaza.

The dossier’s allegations include targeted killings of civilians and aid workers, indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, attacks on hospitals and protected sites and the forced transfer and displacement of civilians.

More than 70 legal and human rights experts supported the referral. The Metropolitan Police has declined to do anything with it.

Imperial violence is rarely sustained by one perpetrator alone. It requires the soldier, the minister, the arms pipeline, the intelligence channel, the diplomatic cover and, at the end of the chain, the institution willing to say that no investigation will take place.

The King received an unwanted memento from a visit to a seaside resort where he celebrated the work of local charities – a splattering from a seagull.

Charles joked about his encounter with the bird that left its mark on the bottom of his suit jacket as he toured the Northern Ireland town of Newcastle.

The King was about to start a meet and greet with the public that lined crash barriers along the main street when the bird’s droppings struck, hitting Charles and those around him including the press.

Irene Marting, 64 from the village of Dromara near Lisburn, was waiting in the crowds with her sister Paula Leitch to see the King and witnessed the incident unfold from across the street.

After sharing a joke with Charles about the moment she said: “We were talking to the King about the seagull and he said ‘it’s well it didn’t land on my head’.

“Somebody was trying to get him to put a coat on but he didn’t, being hit by a seagull it’s supposed to be good luck.

“We’re so thrilled he’s come to Northern Ireland to see us and it’s really nice to see him in Newcastle.”

Earlier the King hailed “amazing” foodbank volunteers when he packed boxes of groceries for those in need during his second day in Ulster.

Charles was given the task of filling two boxes with bread, vegetables, tinned goods and toiletries when he met helpers from the Pantry Foodbank based in a church in Newcastle.

He was told by the Pantry’s chairman John O’Neill the items were for one individual and later while looking at boxes destined for a family he made the volunteers laugh when he touched a toilet roll and said “very important”.

THE UK Government has been told to intervene "as a matter of urgency" after Israel kidnapped a number of UK activists while sailing in international waters on a historic aid mission to Gaza.

You get adverts where people drive their cars over beautiful garden chess boards, and up stairs with your smirking face in order to make the woman want sex with you. You get adverts where you pick your kids up from football, actually driving on the pitch behind the goal mouth, and all the kids think you are wonderful. You then drive your stupid fucking car down the middle of a row of tents with people outside, inches from their faces, and they are all wowed at your prowess.

We used to get adverts on telly telling us how to drive safely, now we get adverts imploring us to drive like cunts.
