    Even the demolition contractor, whose digger was actually booked before the pub caught fire, is embarrassed.

    I didn’t know that part. Shocking.

      Pretty obvious that was the case, but good to have it confirmed.

      100% they didn’t want it there, but it had to look like an accident.

        I’ve just read the Wikipedia article. They did a really shitty job of making it look like an accident!

    Private Eye’s Nooks and Corners column has been cataloguing the tendency of historic buildings of interest to developers to “go on fire” for years.

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.
