It honestly feels like leftwing is just thrown in there to stop officers sniggering every time they say the acronym.

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 should go on twitter and ask which of them did it.
Sometimes I hear "someone was murdered", then I find out about how they have been a horrible person their whole lives, actively causing harm to people in society around them and I think "You know what, maybe the world is better off without you".
That doesn't mean I condone murder. Nor that I would ever do it myself. I just can't bring myself to feel bad about it.
This is one of those times.
