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.

English. nothing in her speech was about Britain it was all about being English and how unfair it is that we don't celebrate that or learn about it in school. Which is nonsense and was clearly written by her dad. Given that they're on the grift with Tommy Two Names I'm inclinded to think they're Brexiteer Reform Tommy fans so fuck em.

Is there a copy of her speech somewhere that we could read?

FFS. Some fucking gammon moron goads his daughter in making some anti-woke speech under the guise of it being "are culcha" and then gets plastered everywhere when there's an inevitable fallout. It's classic baiting.

Look at this melts statement:

A since-deleted Facebook post from the school, which included a flyer for the Culture Day, said the event was dedicated to "recognising and celebrating the rich cultural diversity within our school community".

"We encourage students to consider wearing attire that reflects their nationality or family heritage," it said.

Any outfits that were worn had to be "appropriate for a school setting", the post added, and had to hold cultural significance.

Horrible idea. They were playing with fire by going ahead with this in the first place. Practically asking for a controversy.

Geri Halliwell will obviously need to be thoroughly investigated.

I think we can guess where the change in our society began.
