"I don't listen during important meetings" isn't the defence you think it is, Five Mil Froggie.

He's flailing like crazy now, it's almost embarrassing how pathetic his excuses are getting.

"He can't be arsed to work, he's just like me! I am so voting for him as PM!!"

Sadly, this sort of idiocy wins votes. Farage's whole political career has been about avoiding doing any work, claiming excessive expense repayments, and pretending that it's a political position.

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.
