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.

At Wacken 2009 I saw a guy dressed as the Grim Reaper chasing an ambulance across the campground, screaming: „YOUR NOT GONNA GET AWAY THIS EASY!!!“

I love that we have a law called "causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse"

[–] PointlessLifePersonified@slrpnk.net 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

IMHO, many coppers should be charged with such.

The laws don't apply to the police, that's why they always park like bellends.

I think there's a reasonable excuse: it's pretty fucking funny.

'mucking about' should be legal term imho,

In their defense, a public nuisance can theoretically be very nuisant.

I'd say never change, fash island, but you really should.

God forbid someone has hobbies...

Nah, that's a bit psycho. Too much edgy humor and being 26 to go anywhere with this. Large knife? Hospital? That's a no from me dawg...

Although more facts about the case would help. Was he targeting someone who deserved some mockery? Was it a real knife or a plastic knife?

I need more facts before it's fun, and not just someone with mental issues upsetting people.

I'd like to invite that man to tour the various USA federal government offices while our "leaders" are present.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That'll go well for the man... Not like people are getting snapped up in the streets over there for doing less (or nothing, or only good).

True, but at least he'd definitely fall into the "doing good' category.
