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.

  • Unmanned Russian vehicles have been discovered lurking next to deep-sea communications cables.
  • The Ministry of Defence had credible intelligence that superyachts owned by Russian oligarchs may have been used to conduct underwater reconnaissance.
  • The navy has discovered other sensors planted on the sea bed. The UK government is looking at requiring technology and energy companies to work more closely with the military and fund the protection of underwater infrastructure.

This you, darling ? Defending the use of signal amongst elected officials ?

No, where did I do that? I said it's not unreasonable to assume that a politician has a journalist in their contact list. For example because a journalist tried to contact them, hence adding themselves to their conversation list. Or because the politician does sleazy and/or illegal business messaging journalists, because of course they would. Again resulting in having a journalist in their contact list.

Not being surprised that someone does something illegal doesn't at all mean I'm supporting or defending it.
