United Kingdom
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.

You don't really expect me to read all that, do you? Can I get a tldr?
No. I get that it’s easier in the digital age to watch to a live stream and parrot the opinions you’ve adopted as if they’re your own, but if you want to have a stake in this movement and a say in what comes next you’re going to need to learn to read, debate, and engage. If you aren’t going to put in the effort here I have no reason to believe you’ll put in the effort when it actually matters.
How about you write less fluff and get to the point? Three sentence summary, go. Whatever you say can't possibly be that important that I need your dissertation.
So accustomed to tweets as communication you can’t stay focused past three sentences and so failed by the education system you think less than a thousand words constitutes a dissertation? We’re cooked because we’ve rewarded low effort, low value, low comprehension zingers over putting effort into articulating the back and forth of debates. You’re not ignorant, you can read, you can debate; do it or don’t.
Damn, it really hurt you that bad I didn't read you that you started making shit up, huh. 😂🤣 That's a good lesson to learn when you yourself are a destructive asshole who prioritizes some relatively petty shit in the grand scheme of things. Oh, what a faceplant. I'm taking this grin to bed.
There’s nothing “relatively minor” about prioritizing the quality of life of another living being that is not in a position to make choices about it’s living situation or have a means of leaving that situation, double that when the people inflicting the harm could easily take accountability and rectify their behavior if their peers would demand it of them. We’ll eventually get around to violence and destruction so if we’re going down that path might as well get some revenge on the dog beaters, factory farmers, animal testers, and trophy hunters while we’re taking down the bigots, fascists, and capitalists.
You really said let me sacrifice a whole country and succumb an entire ethnic group to Nazis because of a dog, huh. I'm glad it's not your kin on the frontlines, what a privilege that must be for you.
