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.

It's an absolute appalling miscarriage of justice the way this has been handled. Disgusting behaviour from our "justice" system

"this is a court of law, not justice"

I stood before the Judge that day\

As he refused me bail\

And I knew that I would spend my time\

Awaiting trial in jail\

I said there is no justice\

As they led me out of the door\

And the Judge said, "This isn't a court of justice, son\

This is a court of law."

It’s a frightening time for decent people.

My sense for justice is like the spidey sense, when he got snapped.

The military industrial complex appears to be scared that this sort of event will become common.

I hope their fears are correct.

Want common people to not smash your shit?

Make shit that common people can feel okay about.

Does anyone know of a way to support them and/or the Filton 25? Ie. An official crowd funder or something?

Not unless you’re willing to be prosecuted as a financier of terrorism.
