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.

If I think of all the crap Blair and Johnson did for America, justifying it with the "Special Relationship..." Or the Brexit lie that the UK would finally be able to take advantage of the "Special Relationship" once the EU was out of the way.
At least, when the Germans realized that, yes, Putin was crazy enough to give up all the money they handed over for oil and gas, they were being rational. The UK thought that a feel-good slogan would translate to economic and political advantage.
The "special relationship" has always been "we're happy to let you abuse us."
