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.

The problem is clearly wokrete not being able to decide if it identifies as they/them or it.
😂 what is this site? It's brilliant. It's like te onion or something.
We discovered satire long before the USA was founded.
The USA was founded by people who already understood satire, that's why there's so much in our constitution.
Everyone knows the Mayflower was principally full of devout satirists who wanted to break with English satirists, who were forcing them to satirise in private because their satire was considered too extreme.
Almost choked on my tofu. Now to read the article.
Edit: I’m not sure concrete is woke. Many moons ago one of our political people seemed to think you could grow it though so maybe?
Man, what a classic.

Thank you for finding the clip! An incredulous performance from Mike Graham.
The gentleman from Insulate Britain conducted himself quite well. Straight face and all that.
The little head shake and smirk Cameron does is incredible
It is the fault of the illegal migrants coming in from the channel. The vibrations from the boats are destroying our schools.
british houses need a very high amount of background hitler particle radiation to stay together, diluting the gammon stock with immigrants puts EVERY building in peril!
With my Lemmy I only get to read the reply not the context. you can only imagine my thoughts when I read this.
Don't like it there's the door
Just remind me, how long are the Tories controlling the fate of the country now?
13 long long long years
No one can ever ‘make’ you do something you don’t want to do. You always have a choice.
