I think you either don't understand the headline or that phrase...

[-] Girru00@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, think they interpreted it as sunak warned others, rather than sunak was warned.

I had to open the comments to find out which one is it. Poorly written title really.

[-] hardware26@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Grammatically speaking, doesn't it really say that Sunak warned others? I am confused.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Without something like 'was' in there, Sunak becomes the actor of the warning.

OP is correct in their interpretation of the title as far as language goes.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)

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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
