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.

Haha, what? The state of British media. Are people believing they're a threat to us?
I think only this one woman did. She should probably get seen by someone in a nice calming white coat.
I'm questioning if the social media post actually happened. Smells like bullshit
Honestly the only real threat to us is another loan wolf terrorist or a cell operating in this country that takes the plight of Palestine as their hill to die on so to speak.
But I agree with you, it is a clickbait headline designed to stoke either fear or astonishment at the stupidity of others, when it's really just a rehashed abridged story of the ongoing Middle East crisis.
I read an article last week about how a council was getting more calls from people scared of bedbugs from Paris. Same idea, just get eyes on the page for adverts.
