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.

Despite the illegality, these people manage to sneak into the country with tonnes of coke, then distribute it to tens of sub-distributers, who in turn distribute it to hundreds of large dealers, who in turn pass that on to thousands of local dealers, in time to supply tens of thousands of parties, to supply the coke requirements of every doctor, solicitor, TV executive and regular weekend coke fan in the country, every Friday evening.

These people need hunting down and capturing.

Then we need to make them run our railways and postal service.

It's possible that they already do it in their spare time.

Why would the public waste their time on something like that?

These pedo regimes are out of touch

Years ago me and a couple of mates built mini shallow-level submarines. Initially they were remote controlled, then programmable (since radio waves don't like water) and eventually we got to the point where they could travel a few miles at a time underwater, surface enough to expose their GPS antennae to confirm a fix and link to Meshtastic for updated instructions, and then carry on their way. My point is these smugglers need to get their shit together. "Mother ships"? Give me a break. Amateurs.
