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.

I don’t think ALL the cops are far right. But there are certainly enough fuckwit thugs behind the badge to make their social contract nul and void.
It's the other half of the saying that they like to conveniently forget, one bad apple spoils the bunch. Sure there might be cops that generally show up do their job and go home without literally torturing people to death but if the first cop doesn't do anything about it then they start to look just as bad
It even goes beyond not doing anything about it: any cop that does try to do something about it gets Serpico'd or worse.
