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.

So Kruschev did it, so it doesn't count, but they should get Ukraine because of something that happened 1200 years ago?
I've learned not to expect consistency from them but somebody there must see how ridiculous they look.
Of course they see. It’s the saying that gets one defenestrated.
At the risk of whataboutery, Jews claimed Palestine after 2000 years and no one in the West found that a preposterous reason to ethnically cleanse and commit genocide.
It is extremely convenient to have the Palestinians pay the price for Europe's crimes. Logic and consistency have nothing to do with it.
Kruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine so it's consistent to reverse anything he did.
