Between this and the announcement that police will be instructed to investigate crimes, I’m wondering what will be announced tomorrow.

“Tory party announces that they’ve instructed their officials not to stamp on babies”

“Conservatives release new pledge not to tolerate strangling kittens”

“Braverman opinion piece states the Conservative Party’s position on murder is that it’s really bad, and you shouldn’t do it, OK?”

If I say anything approaching a racial slur at work I’ll get canned immediately. How bad is this problem that in the year 2023 they’ve only just got around to saying it’s not tolerated?

I don’t doubt some of the “Blackletter font” and “red top” newspapers are reporting it as something more along the lines of “Looney Liberal Lefty Whitehall Word Witch-hunt”, “It’s political correctness, gone mad”, or “woke propaganda militia bans British words from documents”.

Create post

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.
