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.

He told me he was giving me to the count of 10 to leave the area

Moses was then Tasered... ...while he was approximately 6ft (1.8m) in the air, causing him to fall to the ground.

As a result, he fractured three vertebrae in his spine, and suffered other injuries to his chest, back, hands and right shoulder.

Nottinghamshire Police stated McClintock "concluded it was necessary to discharge his Taser in order to prevent the claimant's escape and safely detain him".

So first they wanted him to leave, then when he chose to leave (due to their physical threat), they decided to prevent him from leaving. And then to safely detain him they tasered him while at the top of a fence.
