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.

See thing is, at some point we'll want to go there to, and there he'll be, ruining it with his presence.

It's not much, but email your local MP and let's see if we can stop this guy from spreading misinformation in the UK

Yeah, we have our own home grown right wing billionaires.

Calling for the overthrow of democracy, time to shut him down and bring him before a parliamentary committee to answer some serious questions.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He could give every member of the committee a billion dollars and be none the poorer for it.

Not that you're wrong, but with a tyrant of his means, who's essentially above the law, well...

He is not worth 650bln. From 380 to 415 depending on source.

The vast majority of that is in shares. If he started selling those shares (or giving them away) in the numbers indicated. The value would drop faster then he can sell them.

So while he most Def could bribe all MPs. It would be a hell of a lot less then a billion each. Unfortunately MPs are way way cheaper then that.

He made some bullshit comment on the state of Japanese politics too. I hope this guy just perishes by od.
