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.

This feels really conflicting. Of course I agree he is English and he should not be on the receiving end of racism, nobody should.
His government, however, actively boosted racist messaging on immigration, so I can't help but feel he is at least in part to blame politically for this.
The reason this feels difficult is because I worry this feels a bit like victim blaming, although again I really do want emphasise how much the conservatives have helped boost the far right and racist views.
He was hoist with his own petard. Not so much victim blaming, as "I didn't think those ~~leopards~~ [racists] would eat my [non-white] face."
It is funny the people who would agree he is British, he is, are people who also think he's a wanker
