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.

Police can't handle entry level banter here, every officer I've dealt with has been a power tripping cunt including the PCSO's who don't even have arresting powers.

Yeah it's the worst people that sign up for that job (obviously not all of them). Especially the parts where they wield power the density of assholes increases.

No. Not all of them.

Some of them lack the brains

Plastics are the absolute worst.

Unfortunately that's how we humans are. We are giving power and we grow over other people. Its really hard to get power and stay close to the ground.
