General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

Nah, you are OK, thanks.

Maybe willingly telling the guy steamrolling towards the 1984 timeline exactly who is against him isn't the best idea?

Absolute masterpiece of an example of how the narrative of a question is equally as important.

Neither Yes or No are a good answer here.

Excited to see Elon Musk start paling around with King Charlies and talking about a return to Absolute Monarchy in a few weeks.

On one hand, fuck that fucking assclown.

On the other hand, my god that would be one hell of a comeback in historical terms: former colony invades and ~~colonizes~~ liberates former rulers

Yeah, invade it and add it back to the EU as a vassal state, undo that Brexit.

Given his role in the upcoming cabinet, it's no doubt going to be very cost-efficient and won't increase the size of either government.

Maybe NHS will make profit for the first time!

The best thing I can say about Musk is that watching him spiral even further into madness will be fun.
