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.

How could I forget, Prince Andrews brother was also best mates with Jimmy Saville.
Just saying.
great family to represent your state.

So was the Queen and Margaret Thatcher, does that mean they're also paedophiles?
It means they were evil fuckers who enabled one of the worst peados of the last century.
I'm not saying Charlies a nonce, just that he pursued a 16 year old when he was 28 and was best mates with one of the worst nonces ever.
All I'm saying, and it's all true.
You are implying that he's a paedophile because he knows a paedophile. Am I a wife beater because I know someone who beat their wife?
Mate if you hung about with somebody you knew was a wife beater, yes I'd have questions about you.
Queen elizabeth and margaret thatcher are not held in the highest regard so this isn't a super gotcha. I wouldn't say that "means" they're paedophiles but it doesn't make me think they're not
There's any number of reasons to not like either of them but just having an association with a paedophile doesn't automatically make you also a paedophile which is what OP is claiming.
Sure, in the same way that using 4chan doesn't make you a racist. But neither of these things fill me with confidence.
