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.

So a couple months ago when he needed to make noises like "USA! USA!" he moaned about NATO and claimed the UK never really helped in Afghanistan, and now that he actually wants help in his illegal war he is moaning about us not letting him use our resources?

Piss off, you old fat paedophilic cunt.

Maybe Starmer has realised that the best thing for his approval rating is to be disliked by Trump.

I was saying this the other day. The best way Zack can get elected is to stand on a platform of pissing off Trump. Even reformer voters aren't hugely in favour of Trump.

Worked for Mark Carney in Canada. Came back from a 30 point deficit while the other guy was kissing Trump's ass.

Y'all must be doing something right.

Hes stands alone in his puppet war with iran, nato refused  also

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 25 points 2 weeks ago

Best news I've heard all day. I'd be more ashamed of us than usual if he was pleased with us.

Churchill would have also told Trump to do one. He was not known for his lack of candour. The UK was at war with Germany before the Americans got involved so I don't know what trump's talking about. The US joined the UK on that one.

Why would Churchill get the UK involved in a war that didn't already affect the UK?

Of course knowing any of this would require Trump to have actually read a history book which is probably where the issue starts.

Feeling's mutual, I'm sure.

Guess what, the UK is not happy with you, either...

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Who the fuck is he happy with besides Nazis?

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People that commit genocide.

The UK: ‘We’re not happy with the artificially tanned malignant tumour’

We were the one of the few countries to stand up against fascism by choice.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

We certainly aren't doing so now

I'm so happy he is not happy. America is very good at starting wars and then letting everyone else deal with the consequences.

As an American: Piss off, wanker.

Just die already for fuck's sake.

Trump: **adopts fascist policies, sets up a militia to target minorities, and illegally invades other countries**

Also Trump: Please, Kier, be more like Churchill

I'm not sure what he's expecting here

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Please, Kier, be more like Churchill

didn't UK boot Churchill right after the war?

[–] Womble@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, to vote in the most progressive government the country has ever had, but then voted Churchill back in about 7 years later.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I’m not happy with Trump 😂😂😂😂

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

A few bell ends aside, we can’t stand him.

That's the nicest thing I've ever heard about Starmer.
