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.

The Indian-origin Home Secretary has previously made clear that she will do “whatever it takes” to send asylum seekers to Rwanda – a plan that has been blocked by the courts. Her trip and speech in the US to discuss migration issues will be seen as further evidence in the Tory party that she is positioning herself as a potential leadership candidate for the right should the Conservatives lose the next election.

I'm wondering if Ms. Braverman is aware that according to her own proposed rules her parents probably should have never immigrated to the UK, and she is arguing that international treaties on migration are unfit for purpose in an "age of jet travel" while droves of migrants, including minors, trying to cross the channel in small boats.

Sprinkled with self-hating immigrant background for good measure.
