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.

Why do they insist on telling us she's a great-grandma, is that supposed to elicit sympathy for her? She's a person who used her position of treasurer to steal money, full stop, the fact that she reproduced does not bear any weight in the story.

Anyway that is such a shitty thing to do, but thankfully the vast majority of treasurers across the country are trustworthy and manage their funds well.

Because old = good duh. The same reason that 80 year olds who mow down a family in their SUV and "don't know what happened" don't deserve prison time.

The truth comes from the font of knowledge herself - thank you grandma.

What, having great grand kids or stealing money? Both sound like a lot of faff I don't have that kind of energy 😂

Stealing money pays off tho, can't say as much about the kids lol
