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.

London synagogue reported to Charity Commission over event promoting Israeli settlement property (www.middleeasteye.net)

Middle East Eye is publishing photos of brochures and leaflets at the event which advertised property in occupied Palestinian territory and promoted companies with links to illegal settlements.

The revelations come as British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that ministers have asked the Advertising Standards Authority to investigate the Great Israeli Real Estate Event which took place on Sunday.

On Monday, Middle East Eye revealed details of properties advertised in illegal Israeli settlements at the event, which was held at the Edgware United Synagogue.

This comes as the Edgware United Synagogue has been referred to Britain's charity regulator for hosting the event.
