United Kingdom
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.

Right or wrong, it's bizarre to make an overgeneralised statement accusing others of bigotry.
It’s a comment that is used to make everyone feel like it’s pointless trying to fight this.
We are powerful united and they don’t want us to fight back.
Eat the rich.
It is overgeneralised, but I look at how many people are feeding into the lies told by Nigel Farage and similar people, a lot of people hang on their every word and take it as gospel.
There are articles every week regarding racist attacks and outbursts, most recent discussion I could find: https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/jun/13/belfast-southampton-riots-racism-why-is-the-uk-burning
There will never be class consciousness as long as even a decent minority of people listen to the hate being spewed in this country.
What do you feel is "a decent minority" that could prevent it? I think I'd say that Farage's recent poll numbers are easily sufficient, but if his latest alleged corruption is found to be real and it halves them, then I'd say that wasn't enough to prevent class consciousness.
In other words: I really disagree with your generalisation being permanent. Things change in politics and sometimes it's even for the better.
