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.

Rawnsley park...

Rawnsley park is pretty sketchy at night but it's not the most dodgy park in the area. There's a lot of dealing goes on there, I'm assuming this stabbing is related.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Avon and Somerset Police said it happened in the St Philips area on Wednesday and that the attackers wore masks.

After being attacked in Rawnsley Park, the teenager ran to Stapleton Road - where a driver helped him - before he collapsed on West Street.

Bristol Commander Supt Mark Runacres said: "Tragically, we have lost another young life from our city in utterly horrific circumstances.

"Our thoughts are with the victim's family at what will be an unimaginably difficult time and officers will continue to support them.
