United Kingdom
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.

They didn't do anything wrong tbf. If a man wants to give accommodation to his nieces, let him.
They're literal royalty living off proceeds stolen from the citizens
That's true of all royals, not just daughters of pedophiles.
Not really
It's tax money. It could be used for better causes.
Is it tax money, or money he was paid then he is paying out?
I mean its a technical difference and I am not really defending anything, I just don't know how it works really.
The King owns land called the crown estate. He surrenders the profit to the treasury who then pays him back a small fraction of, which he also pays tax on.
The King does not get funded by tax money, just a small portion of what his family's land makes.
Well he shouldn't.
Such a proposition is unrealistic. It's his family's land, he's the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.
His family has avoided inheritance tax for centuries. It's totally realistic. Look at all the Republican countries.
Ah yes, the republican countries with great heads of states like Russia, Turkiye, The USA, etc
Those heads of state don't have Intergenerational wealth built over centuries. Monarchy is corruption on a totally different scale.
You mean only entitlement can pass by bloodline and not consequences of crime? Yeah, totally makes sense.
They didn't do anything to earn it either...why the hell should a pedophile be allowed to steal money from everyone else to keep his family living in luxury forever?
There is no evidence to suggest that Charles III is a paedophile. If you need to lie and slander to support your argument, you don't have one to begin with.
They're Andrews daughters, no one mentioned Charles. But also fuck that whole family, they all should have been executed a long time ago.
Bro chill the fuck out, because the King had the balls to kick him out! What USA did for it's pedophiles? Did they kicked anyone out? Did they arrest them?
We should have executed Trump and it's friends long time ago then.
Not because he was a pedophile, because the family has been stealing and pillaging from the rest of humanity for generations. And yeah, trump and all the other billionaires can join them as far as I'm concerned.
