World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Have you got any proof that this was done by Brits, for homegrown reasons, and not by Russia? Or are you just speculating and making stuff up for... reasons?
Do you have actual proof confirmed by an independent source that this was done by Russia?
Occan's Razor would lead us to conclude that what happens in a place is most likely the due to the locals (because they're the ones there, they're the ones with the most local knowledge and influence to make things happen and they're the ones who care the most about it), so you need strong proof to support a claim which goes against the most simple explanation.
I'm not even saying it wasn't for sure Russia - I don't know for sure either way.
I'm saying that you can't trust the British Politicians or the British Press when they claim that a bad thing that happenned in Britain is somehow the fault of foreigners because that's self-serving (it exhonerates those same people or their mates of responsability) and there is a long history of those people blaming foreigners for all the shit that happenned in Britain, for example the decades of relentless Blame the EU leading to Brexit or the blaming of Russia for Brexit itself and then it turns out it was mainly orchestrated by Cambridge Analitica which is a British company and was being paid for it by Americans plus anybody with fucking eyes on their fucking face could have spotted just how much during the decade leading to the Referendum the local press gave extra high (when compared to, for example, Greenparty leaders) visibility to very much local cunts such as Nigel Farage.
My skepticism of the British Press and Politicians on this is logic because of their very long track record of relentlessly blaming foreigners for British problems.
