Oh yeah, I agree it isn't news. But there's nothing wrong with a husband being proud of his wife. Again, that is probably not news either. "Breaking news: Husband is proud of his wife for fighting illness" isn't anything surprising.

There was a news article a number of days ago talking about how The King has a sticker on one of his cars which was making a "big statement" and shows what "he really thinks" then reveals that the sticker said "save the red squirrel". That is the most predictable, mundane, unsurprising sticker for Charles III to have.

I heard an anecdote of a countryside estate which was going to be visited by Charles when he was still Prince of Wales. They captured a red squirrel from the estate and deliberately released it as he approached a building, so it crossed the Prince's path. Was pretty funny.

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.
