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.

Honestly mate, comments like this don't help.
Quantising the whole world as good/bad with no in-between just puts people off considering another viewpoint.

You might have meant to say "People who still eat animals should think about why they hate this, but still eat meat", but it comes across as "People who eat any meat at all shouldn't be mad at this".

What you end up doing is lumping people who are genuinely trying to reduce their consumption over time, with people who eat steak for every meal and kick puppies.

I mean yeah? They are genuinely trying not to shove something in their mouth? How does that work?

It is always just a black and white thing without seeing the good things. Just like this kid, he could have maybe killed more and has restrained himself really hard. If we blame him for what he did he will just kill more the next time.

"What happened?"

"Oh he drop kicked a hedgehog"

"And he's 11?"

"Yes"

"Right well morally I believe he should be eaten alive by a tiger or a lion"

"You might be a psychopath"

"So might he"

"Great"
