General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

Am I the only one that thinks this is the wrong decision? She's British and is our responsibility.

Let's say someone is born and raised in America to Canadian parents. Then as a child they move to Belfast and join the IRA. Britian says "America what the fuck you sending terrorist over here for" then America goes "That person is a terrorist, we revoke their citizenship so it's not our problem now it's yours".

The real truth of the matter is UK has a problem with immigration from certain parts of the world and with certain groups in the UK. The soon we face up to that the sooner we can do something about it.

Begum joining ISIS as a child is a failing of the UK.

Who hasn't made fucked up choices when they were 15? Especially having been groomed, we should be apologising for having failed her.
