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.

I love that the English can collectively take the piss out of the local nonces…rather than protect them. And the higher ranking they are the harder they fall.

I will say every time there is an announcement it’s like he’s the one they all point at whilst the rest are ignored.

Give me a break. He's only facing any consequences because he got caught.

That is typically how you know someone did a crime

He needs more consequences. I am applauding the fact we can take the mick over the matter rather than shy away from the topic.

Not even, he was well known to be a pedo for years prior. I'm not even British and I don't really think about their monarchy much, but even I knew he was a fucking nonce years ago. He's only facing consequences because his dear old mum died and now can't protect him anymore

The English dont do shit about their nonces. Look at Jimmy Saville.

It was the US Department of justice that released this photo.
