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.

The Met Police's refusal to act against British nationals accused of war crimes in Gaza is a green light for Israel's genocide (www.morningstaronline.co.uk)

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.

Grand day/grand evening! Welcome back!

Thank you. Taking a principled stance remains risky business.

You're welcome! I find myself sometimes wording things in a way that don't quite carry what I intend and can be understood in the least generous way. I blame my upbringing in ignorance and realize I have to work to create better wording that more approximates my intended meaning and replace habitual use. I'm not saying that is or isn't what happened, just that it's my own experience.

Thank you for continuing to bring important news to our awareness!
