United Kingdom
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.

If you don't understand why, you should talk to your fellow country men. I'm not even British and I get it.
Please do explain for us unenlightened plebs.
A lot of British people are struggling. Why make it worse?
They're dying of heat. The council can't afford to fix the roads. They can't get a GP appointment. They can't find a job. The factories are gone. Their quality of life is suffering and for what?
Mass immigration doesn't solve anything, not even for the country they come from.
So why do it?
I think while your frustration is understandable and I feel it too, very much so (though I myself feel it in the overall direction of late stage capitalism in its entirety), in this instance you're confusing people immigrating with those seeking asylum.
The immigration debate is a reasonable one to have, but this particular post is about people fleeing danger, persecution and death, seeking asylum, not those simply wishing to immigrate.
If they're seeking asylum, then they need to go to the nearest safe country. Maybe Turkey or Greece. The UK is not close.
