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.
It is disgraceful. They rightly came down like a ton of bricks on anybody who went to ISIS but here are documented cases of citizens committing war crimes and they can't be bothered.
Justice is only justice when it is applied equally and fairly
Grand day/grand evening! Welcome back!
Thank you. Taking a principled stance remains risky business.
You're welcome! I find myself sometimes wording things in a way that don't quite carry what I intend and can be understood in the least generous way. I blame my upbringing in ignorance and realize I have to work to create better wording that more approximates my intended meaning and replace habitual use. I'm not saying that is or isn't what happened, just that it's my own experience.
Thank you for continuing to bring important news to our awareness!
That could well be because this is the responsibility of CTP, and not the Met.

MET police will stick their nose into anyone so much as holding up a Palestine banner. This is very much their job as well.
Yeah, that's not how anything works.
The Met are unbelievably useless and corrupt, that's completely true, but investigation of potential war crimes is the job of the CTP. For once the Met not getting involved is a good thing because they can't fuck it up.
This level of journalism from Morning Star is no surprise, but I expected more from Webbe.
No you're wrong
No u!
