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.

I read the article and the whole thing screams mental illness to me.
Not in the UK so this is the first time hearing about this but was there ever an assessment to that extent? Or are these two just that cold and calculating that it was all an act?
This goes so far beyond anything I could ever imagine anyone doing even with intrusive thoughts. Mental health issues with the ability to conspire to hurt people is another level.
Yeah, I was referring more to the behavior in court since I didn't know anything about the actual events leading to the charges.
The behavior described in the article strongly reminded me of some relatives who had bi-polar disorder.
Oh sorry. My bad.
I get the impression that people act up in the court room to add weight to any radio-rental defense that they want to claim them or after.
