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.

This direct action made national news and has brought Palestine further into the public consciousness.

It has not tarnished the movement, and has resulted in multiple protests all over the country, many being attended by retired professionals that likely wouldn't attend protests otherwise. There's even one organised for this weekend in London which has already gained national headlines due to the response from Downing Street and the Met.

Canada and America are different countries with different politics to the UK.

You clearly know fuck all about the views held in the UK so why are you even commenting in this community?
