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.

I’m obviously talking recently. We get it, England is old as fuck.
Compared with the US, a lot more countries than just England are old as fuck, bit of a random one to bring up. But regardless, as the other commenter said: it's still exceptionalism.
E: just saw your other comment. "obviously talking about since 2015/16"... are you 12 or is that all the world history you can recall?
Not random at all. Did you forget what this was about?
No, it's about UK politics. England is one country of several in the UK, hence why it seemed random to only mention it.
Okay be pedantic then. Go away.
....really? You replied to me just to say "Go away?"
I'm starting to think maybe I was right when I asked if you were 12.
And no, it’s not exceptionalism. The US has dominated headlines about being a political shit storm not seen in ages since 2015/2016. I am not American and get equal US/UK news in all my media.
If you guys want the claim being the most fucked up go right ahead and claim it baby. I seriously don’t care, but don’t assign meaning to my words.
"No, it's not about exceptionalism, here's how it's about exceptionalism."
Brilliant.
