    Yet the UK’s popular vote give Israel 12. The song wasn’t strong and I did think Israel wasn’t popular here right now.

      I think that could be selection bias. The people who are boycotting Eurovision didn’t vote, leaving only those who are pro Israel. The UK has a huge, motivated, Zionist lobby (think of the hit job they did on Corbyn). So I could see them voting in large numbers.

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.
