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.

The prisoners carried out the job which the judicial system fails to do. The british law would've let him out in 8 yrs. They also allow their convicted pedophiles to travel 3rd world countries to sell, traffic and rape kids.

He ran into my knife! He ran into my knife 25 times!

Looks like a clear case of suicide to me?

Jurors heard that unlike other jails, vulnerable prisoners were not separated from other inmates at Wakefield.

Nice. Not sure why they call them vulnerable.

That sounds very on brand to Wakefield.

No one saw anything, I think his body just did that. Oh well.
