General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.

Let's hope displaying an original Magna Carta publically in the US inspires resistance against the Trump regime.

well, it will certainly inspire resistance by the Trump regime

Which itself could inspire resistance to it. Especially if the displaying of the Magna Carta doesn't officially have anything to do with Trump (which it does not).

Hmmm, I'm thinking the UK should ask for it back.

There are several "originals" of the Magna Carta. This is only one of them. The British library has two.

Why would it? You already have your own import documents to inspire you, and no one's doing anything

I'm not American. I'm hoping to inspire Americans with my comments. There are people doing something. There's 50501, for example.
