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.

The massive PR and diplomatic failure of the UK (and to a greater extent Biden's US government) is that China of all countries is being seen as the sensible nation as it calls for an end to the violence and oppression. China!

Mad isn't it?

Lol, the new season of Vigil (British military copaganda) is exactly about this (except it's a fantasy middle eastern county to not step on anyone's toes instead of Israel).

good for them, being just Complicit for once should give them a nice breath of fresh air.
