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 hope so. No one should be above the law. Especially not parasites like this numpty. As a Brit I’m outraged that taxes I paid enabled this behavior.

I’m an american but as i understand it the royals are a net gain in monetary value since they give up the cash from Crown Estate and receive a stipend that is less than the value they give up. Is that not the sitch?

If that is the case then what taxes of yours supported this shithead?

Hey everybody! Let's kick OP in the nuts for asking honest questions! Sometimes y'all disgust me.

You must be seeing some comments that I'm not.

He probably means the downvotes. Some people on the fediverse take them a little seriously.
