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.

What a silly bunt.
Obviously he doesn't spend enough time causing issues for his own companies and country, that he has to try and stir shit across the pond to cure his boredom.
How about doing something good with that spare time for once?
He (and his platform) are a distraction. There are more important things happening that people are missing.
Is someone secretly poisoning him? He just seems to be getting more stupid by the day.
If true, good on whoever it is.
How long will xitter be allowed to run as stormfront 2.0?

20 years ago he was no one.
-
15 years ago he promises people cars that drives themselves, other magical toys. Never builds them. People agree he is a visionary inventor
-
10 years ago starts talking about living on Mars. Gets into argument with astrophysicists. Now widely considered an expert on space, thanks to media. Remains wildly unqualified to even speak on the matter.
-
5 years ago - now he’s an AI expert and people want to know his views on the future of humanity. starts chirping on politics. Now having direct conversations with government ministers about political ideologies.
He Plays people like a fiddle. Not seen anyone this skilled at peddling tripe since Jesus.
When he’s Earth President, don’t say no one told his method.
At the risk of ripping off a quote often attributed to Gandhi:
Jesus had some great ideas. The people that follow him, not so much.
From the article:
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS trust said in a post on Thursday that it was closing its account on X after 13 years because the platform is “no longer consistent with our Trust values”. It directed followers to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Good start but the UK government needs to knock Xitter on the head. I've previously posted about it here. I wonder if it is worth starting a petition...
The thing is, they're now just using platforms owned by Meta and Microsoft, both arguably awful corporations in their own way. Choosing Zuckerberg over Musk is out of the frying pan and into the fire in my opinion. They really should go to Mastodon, I guess?
It directed followers to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Three more piles of manure, two from the same stable. There's no accounting for taste.
It was disappointing. It's like they are so close to making the leap and yet they have tripped over their own feet.
