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.

Totally, do you ever get frustrated when people keep telling you that you're not that bright, well fuckem, they're all woke work shy immigrants I bet!

Are you people even capable of hiding your classism for five minutes?

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Hating the rich is like hating murderers, it's not a feeling you should hide in polite company like racism. Every minute of their breathing lives they choose to take more from society than they give back. That's how these dragons of modern times create their unimaginable hoards. No knight in stories of old hid their desire to slay the foul beasts, because doing so is always virtuous and worthy of praise.

How is this classism? Your original comment also changed ordinary people to working class, which I consider myself to be both part of.

You are suggesting that Brexit was some fight against some elite. The EU is a neo liberal mess, but the Tories who pushed this through by stoking bigotry are full on fascist and fully just taking advantage of useful idiots like yourself. Disaster capitalism is not a new concept

Victorian pencil made a fortune out of this shit show.

And of course David Cameron is laughing all the way as he whistles his way out of power by giving a big fuck you to the EU tax laws
