    Not really a secret, it’s yet another military base. Probably used for enhanced interrogation™ during the Eternity War.

    Anyone care to guess how long before that island is completely submerged due to rising seas?

    Doesn’t exactly seem like a long-term base.

    Never thought I’d get to share this … Super Sinia does lots of video blogs about her life, she spent many years on Diego Garcia!

      The base is also one of an “extremely limited number of places worldwide available to reload submarines” with weapons like Tomahawk missiles.

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.
