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.

Calling this fascism is not helpful to anyone...
This is Maria arrest as per the article
"the police knocked on Maria’s door. They told Maria that they had received reports that someone was being held in the house against their will, “and that the woman who was still staying in the house accused me of selling sex on the premises,”"
Maria's QC pressured her to accept a guilty verdict but we are never told why.
The guilty plea is what triggers the deportation - which she can appeal and is doing so (hence the comment from her solicitor).
Lastly had her crime been human trafficking people into brothels - would you still be saying the same?
Helpful in the sense of defining current governmental actions as overstepping by a very large degree?
I say potato.
