So was the Queen and Margaret Thatcher, does that mean they're also paedophiles?

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 8 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Denjin@lemmings.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.

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.
