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.

Fuck Palantir

Makes sense. If you are going to give them all your tax dollars anyways it seems silly to make them pay taxes on it, they are basically just paying themselves anyways.

You cannot expect the government to pay taxes on the money they collect in taxes. And since Palantir apparently owns the whole country, this makes sense.

Palantir doesn't own the whole country, not yet, it's more of a malignant tumour that keeps spreading and resists treatment. Some progress appears to be being made right now but who knows if the country will survive it in the long run.

Meanwhile Trump and co seem to pretty much own the US now.

The UK has generally been roughly 5 years behind the US with most things.

If Farage gets in that rule will hold

If Farage gets in he'll scrap the country for parts and make off like bandits.
