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.

So regular levels of discrimination are fine and don’t deserve to be investigated? Racism and Islamophobia are all good but antisemitism is where they draw the line?
No, but it does allow for printing a misleading headline that is technically true.
I don’t even think it’s technically true. The BIMA penned a letter to politicians late last year raising the issue of a rise in Islamophobia in the medical field and nothing has come of it (https://britishima.org/bima-writes-to-government-and-nhs-leaders-on-addressing-islamophobia-and-inequality/). Racists still target Muslims on a daily basis. Wes streeting is known to be funded by the labour friends of Isreal lobbying group. It’s not hard to see why he’s so concerned about antisemitism and not the religious group that have been targeted for years.
The only reason antisemitism is on the rise is because of the action of Isreal.
Huh, didn't think racists would be able to identify most Muslims tbh.
Pretty much, so they would also end up targeting a bunch of non Muslims.
