United Kingdom
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.

He was a black person promoted to a position of prestige over white people, possibly motivated by an inclusion policy, it's catnip to the gutter press and it's a story tailor made to go viral in this day and age with the story amplified by places like twatter and farcebook.
It's a textbook example of inherent racial bias in the system where even the slightest mistake by a person of colour, or a woman, or a disabled person is leapt upon but the countless examples of white men doing the same thing are glossed over, ignored and pass by without comment.
