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.

He's a very clear and present danger to himself. Social isolation is a result of environmental - or societal - damage and it can lead you down dark corridors.
No doubt his ethnicity played a role in this, him living in the UK. But it keeps happening and in these cases people defer to racism because it is an easy answer.
For every other right wing terrorist who was qualified as a "lone gunman" or "emotionally unstable", you have this guy. No doubt he's being treated in this way because he's being made an example of.
The mental health & loneliness pandemic only qualifies if you're white, and even then you get handwaved and marginalized - leading to even more of this kind of behavior.
Then people laugh, cry, shrug and move on with their lives, leaving many to rot - only for the next article to pop up.
"Then just seek therapy" - because it's just that easy, isn't it? Everyone has access, right? More handwaving, more marginalization, more buyring the lead.
