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.

This article gives off the vibes that the UK did a deal with the Nazis to allow this to happen then covered it up. Only half way down does it mention that the Nazis captured Alderney. You'd be forgiven for thinking the guardian has something against the UK the way this is written 🤣.

I know it's a serious subject and everything, but "the UK’s Holocaust envoy, Lord Pickles" is a heck of a phrase.

Yeah, that got a double-take out of me too. Hell, "Lord Pickles" alone is quite the concept to be reminded of in itself.

Especially as I had a dog called Pickles.
