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.

She is right. The cops here in the UK are bullies and they treat the public like crap. Bullied in school became a cop to get power, uses power to bully others. The way they treat people is awful. I work in accommodation for the homless and the diffrece in the way the police talk to me and them, is night and day.

Thing is, no one want to be friends with a cop or be in a relationship with them.... could you imagen breaking up with a cop? Fuxk that! i'd sooner cut a finger off.

Generally, there are two types of CHUDs:

  1. People who were popular in high school and bullied people, and being a CHUD is how they can relive their glory days as the cool kids forever

  2. People who were bullied by group one, and decided to get their revenge on the world by becoming bullies themselves.

So well put here. This is a very good explanation. If you don't mind me asking, is a CHUD an abbreviation of something or is it just a word assigned/given, like Karen or Jock

CHUD is an acronym for cannibalistic humanoid undergroud dwellers. It's a reference to movie, but for whatever reason CHUD became the slang term for reactionaries. You'll every now and then see "hog" used the same way.

It's sort of the equivalent of how "gammon" is used in the UK.

It also serves as a good alternative for "white trash" without the classist baggage it comes with.

Although I'm getting the feeling gammons are going to start calling themselves gammons as a term of endearment.

I think this applies everywhere. The power attracts a particular personality type that is less than trustworthy.

Oh yeah this is definitely the case, but if you know anything about UK playgrounds, you definitely know the type.
