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.

Regardless the reasoning for them doing this, you cannot smash someone with a sledgehammer and lie to yourself that you are still the good guy.

The disturbing thing is that the people who damaged property got almost the same sentence as the guy who attacked a woman

You’re 100% a good person if you smash a Nazi with a sledgehammer. Violence does not make you a bad person, the target does.

It's bad to fight back against women soldiers, cops and security guards. With this one neat trick I will make all war and violence illegal and wrong.
