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.

UK is the 20th least corrupt country in the world

I'm a British citizen, and British Citizens have right of abode in Ireland. So I'll wait until there's an opportunity to take a legitimate boat or aeroplane to Ireland.

I can't tell if you lack the ability to infer things or you're just being deliberately disingenuous. Obviously in this fictional scenario, with mainland GB taken over by a hostile regime, the CTA will be suspended. And given the population disparity between the island of Ireland and mainland GB, it won't be long before the number of refugees exceeds what Ireland/NI can accept. So no, you're not going to get a legitimate way in anytime soon.

So the question again is, would you rat out your mate Barry because he's, according to your logic, a bad person?

Would you happily live in a refugee camp in France indefinitely, when you have the chance to sneak into Ireland to live in a house with family, and you can speak the language?

I'm still an EU citizen, so I'll enter via a legal route when possible.
