‘Thuggish Activists’ is a funny thing to call Terrorists.

Disrupting the operation of a port in the UK is a terroristic act, doing so in an organised way with violence is absolutely terrorism.

I guess the term ‘terrorist’ is reserved for grannies who think genocide is bad.

They made a specific law for disrupting "key national infrastructure", but only seem to use it on people blockading arms factories and protesting in parliament square.

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.
