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.

One could certainly make the case that the two missiles into the sea near Cyprus were unintentional misses, which shows an attempt to preemptively attack. But even that was earlier the same day it all happened,
The strikes into other Middle Eastern countries, seem, especially early on, to be primarily targeting fossil fuel facilities, US military locations, and airfields.
So, at least to me - any assistance we provide to the US is aiding their war of aggression and belligerence, which is a repetition of Iraq. The British people deserve better than to be the back up attack dog of the US bully.
