United Kingdom
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.

What a fucking idiot. He / she could have sued them if he felt aggrieved instead of encouraging people to commit crimes.
But where's the fun in that?
Sure! If you're a clown 🤡.
Take a joke you fuckin geezer
How rude
Spits out tea, powdered wig falls off
I'm down to clown
Yet companies stealing people's art and selling it for a profit doesn't seem to bother you.
Did I say that? Or did you just jump to that conclusion?
You're more upset by shoplifting than by the unethical theft and exploitation of someone else's artistic work, so yes, you did say that.
You seem to be making things up again. 😥
I don't like people breaking the law, and I said I don't think it was a good idea to encourage law breaking. Where in that did you take it to understand that I support theft or exploitation of artwork?
You're still crying about people shoplifting yet you still haven't condemned the artwork theft. Reading between the lines and calling out your bullshit isn't "making things up," buddy.
When stealing someone's artwork is completely legal but fighting back against it by stealing from them is against the law, maybe "the law" is just a bunch of worthless bourgeoisie bullshit. Stealing from thieves is objectively cool. Die mad about it.
Are you an actual 14 year old? Jesus who hurt you this badly?
Ok here you go, I have no opposition to condemning artwork theft. It is wrong and should not happen. Happy? Oh shit where's your reading between the lines now?
At the same time encouraging others to break the law and steal is also wrong and a shit head move to do.
Dios mío 🤣🥸
"Everyone who disagrees with me must be a child. There's no way anyone could possibly disagree with me about anything." Damn what an original, well-reasoned argument.
Finally dragged out of you after two posts of you crying hard about something objectively less worse.
At the same time only one of things you shit your pants about.
Take this bullshit back to reddit. Engage with the argument or fuck off.
No people that post with a "hurrr durrr you don't like theft fight me" attitude are children.
Dragged what out of anyone? You've misunderstood basic words, jumped to conclusions, and are now irate.
Like I don't... I don't know what the heck this is supposed to mean? Do I take you seriously or assume you're a child? My best bet right now is to assume you're a child by the way you're responding. How is it controversial to be against theft? I dunno apparently it is 🤷.
It took several posts for you to admit art theft is bad. Which one of us doesn't like theft, again?
"u mad bro" wow another great argument, damn you're knocking it out of the park.
But I'm the one struggling to understand basic words lmao.
As opposed to the totally mature way you're responding, which is *checks notes* telling the other user he doesn't understand words, calling him mad, and constantly accusing him of being a child. Wow I sure am glad there's a real adult in the room.
Anyway at this point you're just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child and refusing to actually engage with the argument, so I'm not going to waste my time any further. Have a
loser.
Listen to yourself. Several posts to admit. What are some sort of detective? As if you've uncovered some hidden secrets? Because I hadn't used the words theft of art is also theft you assume I am pro art theft? This is your faulty logic, buddy.
I'm specifically calling you a child 😉. Because you're a child.
You have no argument. You're straw manning and trying to pick fights. Stop.
I do when it's directed at the bougie fucks. Not so much the other way around.
Breaking the law is actually cool and good. Ideally, I think people should break the law more often, not less often.
Last time he had to take it all the way to the appeal court to get them to agree he had the rights to his own images.
I can understand not wanting to do that again.
And he still lost trademarks on at least 4 of his major pieces because he wanted to stay anonymous
Why do you assume Banksy is one of those? We don't know who Banksy is.
True true. Maybe they are a multinational conglomerate? 😅
Grandma, what are these stencils for?!
Fucking hell I hope this comment is a joke
If we don't know who a person is, how can we know what pronouns to use for that person?
I meant more the usage of "one of those" to describe a person
I used "one of those" to refer to two different pronouns. We don't know Bansky uses either and there are other options.
Oh fair, I read it as being very demeaning!
Well thanks for looking out. (serious)
Robert Del Naja (of Massive Attack) is Banksy. You're welcome.
I don't think Banksy wants me to know that info, so I'm going to take special care to not remember that info.
Just like I have no idea who dril is.
