United Kingdom
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.

This is pussy behavior. Very fucked up government SOP.
You are essentially telling the world that if you invade them and collaborators help, any promises you give for safety for the collaborators and their families is a bullshit lie.
So why the fuck would anyone want to help you in the future?
I think it's even more sinister than that. The implication in the article is that they didn't want them in the UK because they could be forced to give evidence in court about possible UK special forces war crimes.
JFC I never thought about that when reading headlines like this
Man UK conservatives want to be American politicians soo bad.
They’ve done this in every war for the past 80 years, and it hasn’t hurt recruitment yet. You can always find stupid and greedy people who will sell out their neighbors to be bullet fodder.
