    I mean you see the xenophobia being stoked across europe, but the north of ireland in particular seems to be a focused experiment by far right campaigns in how far they can push things. this stinks of bannon.

    Can we please use his actual name? “Tommy Robinson” is what he calls himself to appear working-class.

      It’s easy and free to change your name by deed poll, so it’s weird that Waxy Lemon is so keen to use a stage name. If he’s so ashamed of his real name, he could easily change it but chooses not to.

    I’m glad people can get this angry about some people living near them and not at all at water companies dumping shit in our rivers while ripping us off to increase shareholder value.

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.
