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.

Starting in 2026 the UK no longer allows British Citizens to get an ETA to enter the UK on an American Passport. They must use their British Passport to enter the UK.

The problem I'm seeing that I can't get a straight answer to is by US law any US citizen must enter and leave the US on a US Passport. So with that being the case how is a dual citizen with two passports meant to fly from the US to the UK?

Oh the imposition! You expect them to carry two passports?

I carry both always its just you can only show one at a time as its tied to your plane ticket and us law says you have to leave and and arrive on a US Passport not just arrive

You can absolutely show both. You'll just officially do US customs with the US one, and UK with UK
