    A lynch mob. A vulnerable, autistic black man. Fingers need to be pointed!

      Don’t infantilize the guy while ignoring that this lynch mob was whipped up and directed as part of a systemic and deliberate conspiracy.

      As is tradition, btw.

        Who is infantalising anyone? He was a vulnerable man. You don’t grow up autistic and suddenly become neurotypical - even if you’re a professor. Part of the reason that Cofnas targeted him was that Cofnas thought he was “weird”.

            Please don’t try to infantilise me by giving me a link to a wikipedia. I’ll just repeat: he was a vulnerable man.

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.
