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.

Some places have redundant, confusing , infrequent , complex bus routes. Consolidation into less routes that make sense can be a good idea to give people useful routes that take them where they want to go, and when they want to go. As such a number without a detailed in depth analysis is useless

> The government said it was misleading to equate the figures directly with changes in the number of bus routes – with up to 1,400 of the 3,000 services deregistered by the commissioner over the past two years now operated under local transport authorities – but it acknowledged many services were lost.
