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.
“I don’t think any dogs were harmed in the filming of my visit,” Ms Braverman said.
Although she did later eat a puppy for lunch. Which didn't get in the top ten of the worst things she did that day.
I hear she's got a nice sideline going in Dalmatian coats.
I hear she hates her immigrant parents, Jewish husband, and herself for not being white.
As a foreign observer, the UK seems to have seen the clown show going on in the “United” States and decided they want in on the ridiculousness. It’s a sad time to be alive.
Exceptionalism. We had the ridiculousness down pat before yous were a country you knob 😂
People really forget that america inherited many of its problems from the europeans who made it.
the clown show going on
Hey, that means currently. Reading comprehension is hard.
I’m very obviously talking about since 2015/2016 ya knob.
Are you honestly comparing the governing of today to the past 100 years…?
We aren't going to let you colonials beat us at ridiculousness now.
As usual the difference between the US and UK is that the US clown show is over the top and overstated all-signing-all-dancing slapstick, while the UK clown show is the kind of cringe delivered entirely deadpan that you watch through your fingers because it's too embarrassing to watch any other way, and that we will nervously laugh at the next day while wondering just how badly we'll feel the consequences.
But they both do the job of totally fucking everyone but their donors over.
Some of this reads like satire, absolutely bizarre, much like most of the things coming out of this conference.
TIL - it's legal to park on pavements
In most of the UK yes, subject to local council byelaws - eg. locally the rule is if you can't get a wheelchair past, you get a ticket (although enforcement is basically non-existent).
In London it is actually illegal.
Where do UK voters find these amazing folks like Cruella Braverman?
