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.
May i do some more? Jimmy Carter didnt lose, Al Gore won in 2000. Helmut Kohl, lost his vote of mistrust against Schmidt (german cancler stuff that lead germany down a very bad path to where it is now)
At EU founding it was agreed to be more than just an economic union in the 50s. But also a political colaboration union.
We all listened to Charles de Gaul about america and Britain. (Ye sorry britain but charles de gaul was right about britain would treat the EU as a continuation of its lost empire and wouldnt want to contribute to it but only take)
Thatcher never takes power. Irish unity.
Democracy was successfull in Russia
Mao never succeeded in taking over China
Due to only these changes, almost all problems of today would either be gone or not as big as they are today. Example: climat change wouldnt be as big because, the big leaders of neo capitalism from the 1980s never took power and made it the default idea of how the world runs. Meaning people would be better off all around the world. The US not going into the middle east wouldnt cause huge refugee crisis. That and the better of people would make people not elect conservativ and racist fucks like the AfD, Le Pen, Meloni, Farage wouldnt have existed or gotten big at all
