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.
In a different universe, in a different timeline, maybe we wouldn't be stuck so far up America's arse and do something sensible like putting the damn country on a travel ban list.
There are already travel warnings issued for the US.
And unfortunately, the UK cannot go about starting international spats and trade wars with the US. That's a one way ticket to heavy recession and mass poverty.
The most we can realistically do is travel warnings and publishing stories like this.
Weren't there travel warnings issued recently? Although this event doesn't seem related to those concerns. In the US getting shot is kinda like getting struck by lightning - statistically very unlikely, but still happens all the time.
