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.

We can only hope Personally I'm hoping a wipeout will split the party down the middle in a tory civil war.

While we're making wishes, the Labour government then announce a referendum on which form of proportional representation we will replace FPTP with.

They should be facing incarceration.

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 5 points 9 months ago

I read that as "incineration", and my reaction was "a bit harsh, but fair".

Incarceration works too though.

I hate headlines like this purely because it makes a lot of people who were going to vote think "Meh, I don't really need to vote, Labour have it anyway" and then Labour don't have it.
