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 like to imagine a world where headlines like this actually mean anything.

"oh FUCK, im under pressure!? I have to change, this is crazy what was I thinking. Next I'll be slammed and it'll all be over!"

That'll blast em, surely they'll understand that they have been ripped and lambasted for the betterment of themselves, and not a persecuted Christ figure who is the savour of mankind through divine suffering.

Everyone must burn this Nazi outfit and their leader. Currently used by the UKs NHS and needs to be pulled immediately.

Ah, but the Palantir man on the radio said that the NHS remains the legal data controller, so everything is fine and we can ignore the fact that all this means is that if Palantir do anything illegal with the data it'll be the NHS that's liable for letting them see it, so they can do what they want and if there's any backlash, it'll be the taxpayer who pays compensation.
