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.

The Tories want to destroy Stonehenge to build a motorway so let's not pretend it's sacrosanct now

Is this hyperbole or literally true?

It's the same handful of obnoxious individuals over and over making it look like it's a majority.

That said, this thread started about Tories, and about half the population lean that way even if they don't vote for 'em...

You might have to state your sources there.

I'm aware of the tunnel and at no point would it "destroy Stonehenge". There are concerns that construction might harm as yet undiscovered parts of the wider ritual landscape.

Oh so you DIDN'T want a source, you just wanted to argue about it?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

I wanted a source that backed up what you said.
