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.

Why is this important?

We’ve seen in the past that a rogue President Trump has ridden roughshod over international climate agreements, he’s happy to cosy up with dictators like Putin, and he’s even had his eyes on our NHS as part of trade deals. Worst of all he seems to do this all with little care for the consequences to anyone but himself.

At 38 Degrees, our supporters unite to build a society that’s fairer, kinder, respectful and more sustainable - values that, unfortunately, Donald Trump does not share.

Has there ever been a single one that's worked?

The petition alone won't change much, but it could be one step in the right direction when we are willing to keep going a long way. That sounds pathetic, and maybe it fails, but being indifferent and doing nothing is certainly not an option as we know. As Biden said in his recent speech, "Setbacks are inevitable, giving up is unforgivable."
