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.

Good time to remember that Reform UK are heavily funded by the fossil fuel industry (as if their words and actions left you in any doubt)

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 37 points 1 month ago

Fuck that party and the fossil fuels they rode in on.

Delusional fascist imbecile is delusional

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Not delusional, she knows the truth but she's also heavily invested in fossil fuels

So Deceptive fascist imbecile, not delusional

I know it's totally out of context and completly misogynistic, and as a woman I should balhaabhkaha....but wtf is that makeup? It looks like me at 5yo when I dug into my big sis 10yo barbie toy makeup box

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

It's called The Ursula

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 5 points 4 weeks ago

I do love the picture they chose for her.

That face... Lol. What's the British equivalent of Karen. Susan?

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Andrea, apparently.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

In her defence..... Nah I got nothing.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

She argued that net zero is harming industry, adding: “It’s a money making racket where certain businesses and individuals are making money out of it.”

Then invest there instead of oil, you dumb....

Yeah, send them over; we have a corner on the worlds cognitively and morally challenged market over here. Not a brag, just acknowledging the situation. 😮‍💨

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you narrow that down a bit before we book the ticket?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got to be American. Only Americans assume everyone knows where they are.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe, but even that needs narrowing down. An American friend of mine says that the two coasts are relatively sensible and everyone in the states inbetween are utter fruitcakes.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Has your friend heard of Florida? And some of the northern states in-between are relatively sensible too - Minnesota for example.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think they’re in denial about Florida.

[–] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

Denial is the standard state of mind for Florida.

[–] jmill@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Well, I can understand the feeling, but it's not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.

Send her to Trumponia.

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I live in Lincolnshire. Please forgive us. It's the inbred farmers you see.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Pretty sure she's from a minor noble line, no farmer blood in that bitch

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

I'm gonna lose my mind when these pricks win the next election.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

Renewable energy is WOKE

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

i think climate change is to hard of a concept for most people to fully understand. maybe its the word "climate" that they don't understand.
