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.

Russian neo-nazi divisions that took part or currently actively taking part in Russian offensive campaign:

Then there is **Dmitry Rogozin **is a Russian politician, former head of Roscosmos, and former leader of the ultra-nationalist Rodina party; it is more accurate to describe him as an ultra-nationalist figure with racist and xenophobic rhetoric than as a proven neo-Nazi. Reuters reported on his participation in an ultra-nationalist rally where Nazi-style salutes were made: https://www.reuters.com/article/economy/russian-ultra-nationalists-rally-as-police-watch-idUSL28511451/

And there are many more cases of attacks and harassment by Russian citizens against Yakuts and other ethnic minorities who are also citizens of the Russian Federation.

Russia is not fighting Nazism - it is exporting it, funding it, tolerating it in its own armed formations, and using it as propaganda against others.
