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.

Sure, but do you think the right wing nutjobs who get angry about things like this care about evidence?
They're glad of another excuse to validate their anger against "them", and even if later evidence comes out to suggest something never happened, their rage and hatred has by this point only grown deeper.
We're on a path to a return to bring openly run by these sorts of people, and eventually all that deep hatred of "them" will come pouring out once there's the power to act against them on a national scale.
Us decent people are, by our nature, not angry and hateful enough to do anything to stop this until it's far too late. History repeats itself over and over :-(
pronouns themselves aren't a problem lol. he had a specific group in mind. "the conservatives who are complaining about this issue" the problem arises when the "them" is nebulous or used as a racist dig whistle. he is pointing out conversations using it as the latter here.
Rightwingers aren't people and don't deserve to be treated like people. That better for you?
God save us from ding-dongs who think 'you are lying' is a contradiction.
