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.

Every case that I have seen of Hasan, be it showing up at rallies, supporting a candidate, or joining the convoy: his presence is welcomed, seen as valuable and benedicial to the protest, politician, or cause.
Only time I can think where his presence was treated as a liability was the 2024 DNC.
I mean 99/100 times yes. The one exception I can note was when they went down to the street at the LA protests. And like, there were already plenty of protest streamers there, which is like, thats what they do. And yeah, like, all of a sudden all the protesters were like "Oh holy shit its Hasan!" And wanted autographs etc.. which like, is legitimately distracting from a protest. And so some other live streamers did make comment on their streams (like Merc, a few others who do that kind of streaming. THey make a point to not make it about themselves.
