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 quote is Moffat telling the media that he says the police said that it's high profile. I highly doubt they did because it doesn't really make sense.

It can't be a high profile attack because no one knows who he is. Anyone who went to where he went, and said the things he said, would have got punched, his celebrity or lack thereof is it irrelevant.

And OP choose to highlight that without context

No they didn't, that's the byline from the source. OP hasn't added anything to the body.

I can't tell if you're just blatantly lying, or don't understand what most of the words mean ...

Both wrong, unfortunately, you just don't know how Lemmy works. The quoted section comes from the metro website, that's why the section is outlined in green - if OP had added something, it would be outlined in grey.
