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.

Robinson also led chants of support for the X owner, Elon Musk, one of his best-known supporters. He said: “None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for one man. Thank you Elon on behalf of Great Britain.”

Funny how all the "grassroots" nationalist movements turn out to be supported and enabled by foreign fascist billionaires.

Making Britain Little Again

Wasn't the Battle of Britain the one where the RAF shot all the Nazis that came closer than the English Channel?

Which side of this "Battle of Britain" are you on, "Tommy"? It's not Britain's side is it?

Which side are you on? You'll either be a union man or a thug for ~~J H Blair~~ Elon Musk

I would pay good money to see Tommy Robson fight one of his own battles. He's an enormous coward, always at the back of whatever riot he has incited.

Bunchacunts.

He encouraged his supporters to move beyond street protest and “fighting” and become involved in local politics before the next general election.

Good one. That's just what Reform need to finish them off, even more idiots with more teeth than brain cells.

Probably another of those closet gay right-wing homophobes. "Flag shaggers, you say?"

Looks like you got a lil MUKGA problem

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's quite a big problem, given how the polls show the country to be eager for a fascist government.

The polls only look like that because the rest of us are factionalized. Voter share puts them on a maximum of 28%. That leaves 72% of us who are voting elsewhere, and that's without the non voters.

We need to unify around something, but let's face it. It's not Starmer.
