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.

I absolutely missed the bit about fifteen years ago, where they unconvicted the guy they'd previously convicted.

Likewise! I thought it was someone... Levi Bellfield has appeared in my brain, not going to check.

Not him, but I'm surprised he hasn't claimed it. The guy's name who was convicted was Barry George.

Oh yeah, rings a bell. Field.

My theory is that it was some Balkan security service or a gang acting on their behalf.

Probably Evan Dando to eliminate the dilution of his popstar name.

The sad fact is that it was likely just some random with a grudge, against her specifically or just against womankind.
