The UK should expell US diplomats over this, or at least cease all US trade talks.

We didn't even expel them when one of them killed somebody in the UK...

anne sorkin was on the wrong side oncoming traffic and fatally struck a brit, and she fled to embassy for protection.

Which she wasn't entitled to. Diplomatic immunity doesn't cover spouses.

I don't think it even covers CIA spooks, does it? I thought it was just for embassy staff.

Anne Sacoolas, not Sorkin.

Anna Sorkin was the woman who pretended to be rich and then a load of US banks just gave her a load of free money. And apparently it's illegal when poor people do that, so she went to prison.

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.
