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 don't know if I believe that. I mean yes, Andrew Tate is a piece of shit. Full stop, that is fact in my eyes.

The people who follow him could just be stupid, though. Sure there are certainly fucking pyschos that think sex trafficking and whatever else degenerate shit Tate gets into are fine, but all of his followers?

Don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity.

You can be stupid and a piece of shit, which does actually encompass all tate dickriders and "fans"
