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.

When Levy, who is Jewish, was arrested he told police he did it in response to the attack two days earlier, in which two men were killed.

A CPS spokesman said it later emerged he had called the Iqra Mosque in Manchester on the same day, telling a staff member: "I am going to kill you Muslim."

Concerning messages were also uncovered on his phone, which included Islamophobic and racist language, as well as hate speech, the spokesman said.

Levy pleaded guilty to making threats to kill and was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court to 28 months in prison.
