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 saga just gets worse and worse. The worst thing the BBC is doing here is apologising. They need a backbone and just say "we broadcasted an event. Not our problem"

Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they're trying to build about what's happening in the world.

I could only watch 25 minutes (so far) of the doctors in Gaza documentary the BBC refused to show, because I cried at least three times. The multiple children being carried to try to get help with serious looking injuries. The solar panels being destroyed which meant premature children died. The blood soaked floor around the ambulance. The absolute pain of the doctor talking about when a nurse brought in his daughter who was killed. The people watching the bombing of Gaza through those fucking telescope things you get at the beach or from tall buildings like it's a tourist attraction. The guys being stripped naked, blindfolded and led about in a stadium.

An artist said a few words at a concert that is crazily expensive to go to, which doesn't even meet the threshold of hate speech (in my view).

Where should we focus our attention and outrage I wonder?!?

we heard in the House the absolute shocking stories of the impact this has had on the Jewish community

Very curious what these stories were. Anyone have any links to how Bob Vylan's set impacted the Jewish community?

If you’re very curious you could read the Hansard or watch the archived session.

Finding the actual records/videos is not trivial, which is why I'm asking if anyone has already done that and can provide links.
