United Kingdom
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 well aware of the history and of course the war in 84, but I'm sorry I cannot find it in me to give a shit about this rock in another hemisphere with 3,000 tax avoiders on it that costs us a fortune for zero benefit
If they feel so British them move to Britain, I'd sooner pay to resettle them than have another conflict over it.
I really don't see why we need any of these overseas territories, they are mostly tax havens, maybe if they start paying normal taxes like the rest of us then I'll start considering them like I would consider the rest of us.
As far as this story, well yeah, that's what happens when you squander all your soft power and fuck up all your relationships with Brexit.
