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.

I think it’s pretty troubling that the military may have to step in to cover what should be police matters when it’s not a matter of a national emergency.

Perfectly normal island. No one can afford to feed their kids and we've got soldiers walking the streets in place of police officers.

Due you think the current lot in Westminster will ever acknowledge the path they’ve led us down?

Of course, they were there, at the glorious beginning of the Second Empire. When order returned. The citizens of the British Isles were too long seduced by "freedom" and "liberty". It's time for a the closed fist of a strong shepherd to guide the sheep to the slaughterhouse.

I trust the soldiers more though.
