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.

This is great news as it means employers in the UK won't be able to sack employees for social media posts in support of Palestine or attacking Zionist racism.

It also clips the wings of abusive social media accounts like StopAntiSemitism who doxx people all the time.

Was this before the UK adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism as law?

This judgement came out yesterday.

The UK government adopted the IHRA definition but did not codify it into statute so it's not legally binding
