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.

Before Brexit the chosen enemy was Polish people/generic eastern Europeans. They are ostensibly white, but many conflicts were over the number of them that were coming to the UK to work, despite that they were mostly doing jobs with high demand like cleaners.

It's only since Brexit that non-European immigration has skyrocketed, as well as the onset of the small-boats issue, since we can no longer send them back to France.

Don't re-write history.
