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.

Lawyers for the Tates said the brothers had offered to be interviewed by Bedfordshire police in Romania and had undertaken to give up £20,000 each if they revealed the names of their accusers in the UK.

They didn't just try to get the names, they tried to bribe the police - with relative pocket change - for the names.

Why do they say they want the women's names? It's not made clear in the article.

My guess is it won't be an apology.

The fact that they don’t know makes this so much more wildly disturbing.

That means they’ve hurt deeply so many people that they can’t narrow it down. Holy shit.

Whilst this is most likely true, there's a chance they could just be so stupid that they can't work it out

Thousands, so many they can't keep track of it. Prolific sexual assaulters that will continue that behavior for the rest of their life.
