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.

Hahaha that's totally jogged a memory for me - there's this right wing guy on YouTube called Tim Pool, and he went on a weird little rant like a year or two ago about how he saw this AI video of a room with a glass wall, overlooking a village in Christmas time. It's snowing outside, but it's cosy inside the room, with a TV playing old cartoons, something like that -- he's going on and on about how nostalgic that is and then he's like:

"...and that's all going away. Because people keep calling their kids Mohammed."

Absolutely laughed my arse off, you honestly couldn't write a character like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ha, Tim Pool the guy who claims he didn't realise he was being funded by Russian disinformation organisations. Classic right wing dolt.
