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 west has stopped quietly committing genocide against the wishes of it's people, started forcibly and loudly committing genocide against the desperate cries of it's people.

And Cenk still won't change the name of his media organization from the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide he spent most of his life denying...

Even know, he just admits the Aremenian genocide could be considered a genocide. But refusing to change the name of his company.

I don't know how or why genocide deniers are ever considered "the good guys".

Loads of conflicts is two groups of assholes fighting.

But there are podcasters out there who don't support any genocide too...

Omg shut the fuck up, we know he's a hypocrite. Everyone here knows this and agrees with you. But this is a much larger issue than one dildo's genocide denial. You're effectively muting discussion about ever-more authoritarian western governments unilaterally silencing dissent in favor of your pet soapbox. I'm willing to bet that everyone in this thread is 100% in agreement with you about Cenk but for the love of god please have a sense of priorities, talk about Cenk's hypocrisy somewhere that your energy will actually make a difference and not incidentally make it look like you don't give a fuck about Palestinian genocide (Because I'm guessing you do care about that [edit: Now in doubt]). Please.
