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.

I'm not sure what the EU gains by this? Makes me think they aren't serious politicians. Which is baffling giving the reverse was said of the UK during Brexit talks. At least that was somewhat understandable since the conversation was regarding the UK and the EU. But why has the EU inserted itself into a dispute between Argentina and the UK? What does it have to gain? It's like a snotty kid at school in a playground shouting from the sidelines "kick him in the head!" then running away.
