    I mean we kinda are… We let them use our airbases. A few weeks ago an American Hercules literally woke me up and it was en route to the Middle East. I am contemplating sending the U.S. Consulate a strongly worded letter.

      Kinda?
      A UK MQ-9B drone was tracked over Lebanon exactly when the genociders decided to break the ceasefire.
      What was it doing, tourism?

      Why the consulate?

      Why not directly to the embassy?

      Wow wow, duct tape?
      This is military grade Lockheed-Martin RT25X1 re-empowering warrior enhancement spool.
      It’s worth every cent of the only $459/roll of taxpayer money it costs.
      This ‘tape’ as you dare call it defends our freedoms, so have some respect you dirty commie!

        $459/roll is probably a little low. Read this a couple years back.

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.
