Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If there's one thing the UK is good at, it's making rich people feel important. It's how all those Russian oligarchs feel so comfortable in London, comfortable enough to spill their secrets. Nobody suspects the butler, nobody suspects that behind the pomp and ceremony there's a knife waiting for you.
Trump likes to be flattered, so flatter him, and then get as much cash out of the US as possible! $150bn investment so far as a result of this little bit of pageantry, since all those tech companies are now dancing to Trump's tune.
From my experience living there for over a decade, including meeting some people from the landed wealth, such warm welcomes to the ultra rich aren't some kind of 5D chess strategy to get their secrets, they're pure and simply a mix of greed and no scruples whatsoever by people who are trained since their teens in image management.
If the English Gentleman stereotype of honorable behaviour was ever true (rather than an image crafted by films, which frankly seems more likely), nowadays it's only about "projecting the right image", which is quite independent of "doing the right thing" (given that the upper classes are literally taught in their private schools to be fake and tell people what they want to hear, being a "posh gentleman" might actually be negativelly correlated with "doing the right thing").
In summary, do not expect honorable behaviour from the present day British elites, especially not the English ones - want to find honor in that country, try the Northern England and Scottish working class (maybe also Northern-Ireland, but I'm not as familiar with those) and a few amongst the middle and lower-middle class in multi-cultural large cities like London.

I mean, read Wilde, Wodehouse, Austen, Dickens... That's always been the case.
People used to be dishonourable. They still are, but they used to be too. (R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg).

Well said 👍🏻

You know, when they sell apartments for $150m, i've always suspected it's a kind of money laundering.
I.e. person A gives drugs to person B, and person B in return purchases an apartment from person A for $150m, thus creating the impression of a legit money transfer.
To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.
It's kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).
Damnit. Now he's going to demand this shit happens back in the US.
America's poodle, not just for joining invasions of Middle Eastern countries.
Also on display in Starmer's policy of arresting old ladies as terrorists when they demonstrated against the Genocide being done by America's pupetter.
Ya buncha cunts
Aren't the royal sex workers? Isn't their job to have sex and produce heirs so the cycle can continue? Country pimps them out to show up to events and smile, and then to go back home and continue the line.
Honestly I have more respect for sex workers than monarchs. Sex workers actually work hard and provide a valuable service, monarchs simply exist. The comparison falls flat for me
Unironically that's their jobs.
appeasement is kinda their thing
The brits want to be colonialized for a change?
more like colonized, i.e. fucked in the ass
colonized, analyzed, rectified.
FTFY: The United Kingdom government shamelessly prostrated itself
The people in the streets played quite a different tune...
Who knew I could respect the royal family even less than I already did?
I hope they knighted him, or something. I can't wait for him to request being called Sir Donald by everybody.
It will silence dissent, empty out its traditions, and rent out its monarch like a sex worker
Considering their monarch went to the US for people who were rented out as sex worker, it seems only fair for him to return the favor
England has nothing else to do. England is the ruins of an once great empire. It can't go back to its own glorious past, and it has therefore no way forward. If england does not adhere to the USA, it is nobody, it has nothing, and it can do nothing. At least that's what they're thinking.
Especially after Brexit.
Stop appeasing fascists. It only emboldens them.
Stop fellating this old sick fuck!!!
