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.

Being complicit in a genocide is a crime.

Us de and uk... Are not complicit, they active participants

Sooo

It's illegal to be against the genocide, it's illegal to be proactively for it. Is the only legal option to be not paying attention?

Yes. Yes that is the point of all this. Just stay out of big brother's way and out of his gaze and it'll all work out for you and your (white) family.

Lol, what's with Brits and joining terrorist groups, first Isis and now Israel.

Joke answer: Ikr smh Brits amirite?

Serious answer: Britain is the most diverse country in Europe so they have comparatively more people from/"from" places outside Europe and who'd want to do stuff there. By comparison, continental Europeans have much fewer people like that, so they just join sparkling white supremacist groups instead.

The British government is the biggest terrorist

The wonderful western values:

Murdering innocents in Britain: 😡 Go to prison for life!
Murdering innocents in another country: 😊 I see nothing wrong. 5mph of speeding is much more severe than that.
Murdering innocents in a country that is at peace with Britain: 😡 Go to prison for life! Or maybe not, because the law is too old?

This just in: UK declares war on Palestine. More seriously, where was this law when Israel was invading Lebanon?
