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.

The EU keeps attacking the UK through petty vindictive actions like this.

The EU spokesperson clearly knew using Las Malvinas would be perceived as support of Argentina's claim to the island which would upset the UK.

He justified it as the UK isn't a member any longer, so no one was there to object. However in Geopolitics the point of statements is to send a message to the world stage and they knew it would upset the UK.

Considering none of the Islanders want to to be Argentinian and "winning" would be subjugation and possibly genocide of its people. Someone really should point out to Germans and East European's that in their zeal to punish the UK, their leaders have directly endorsed such actions
