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 didn't say I was superior.

Of course countries are constructed. By people with shared views and common goals. Countries have been formed over a long period of time with a lot of struggle.

It's not luck that I live in my country. I was born from my parents, there was no chance I could have been born elsewhere. I came into a country hard won by my ancestors, some fought and some died making my country what it is. So don't shit on their legacy. They worked hard for a better country for me to live in. Show some respect.

Immigrants don't form countries, the countries were always there. Sure if you think America is the world you might believe that. But short of thinking America is the whole world that is obviously not true.

that’s basically replacement theory right there, which is just plain horrific

What? Lol. What are you actually saying here? Because it sounds like you are saying areas that were previously entirely white now still are? Like you don't accept that non white people live in areas where whites used to live?

That's a new level of woke if you believe that. That's arguing with basic census statistics.
