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 suit is claiming that she has faced loss of employment opportunity as she is white, and discrimination under the basis of the Equality Act.

said she had been “exploring a legal career” and therefore applied to the £14.80-an-hour internship scheme run by the 10,000 Interns Foundation programme and the Bar Council, but was rejected.

She appears to simply be a bile-spewing "journalist" who is clearly not hurting for employment. A cursory Google search has her pegged as a social media and communications graduate too - it doesn't suggest a keen desire to enter the legal profession, but perhaps someone not telling you you're special and suggesting you might have a default advantage turns you into a racist, dogwhistling P.O.S.
