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.

Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(

Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn't autistic, there'd be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She's a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.

That is a pretty sick brurn though. Good on ya, autistic lady whether you meant it as an insult or not. Sorry about the pigs throwing a temper tantrum

You shouldn't call cops "pigs." Pigs are intelligent and loving creatures

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

Fair, my apologies to the swine. You don't deserve to be associated with cops

You shouldn’t call cops “pigs.” Pigs are tasty.

FTFY

Cops might be tasty too. You don't know until you try.

I've tried and I didn't like it. Very sour.

[–] peto@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All that proves is that that one in particular was bad. Maybe it was out of date.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

It was ripe.
