United Kingdom
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'm on the fence. Daft custom exhaust on a 1.5 turbo 3cyl is stupid, but there's no way I can agree to more surveillance.
I guess it depends what your comfort level for surveillance is.
In this case, it would likely be "camera activated at 96dBA, numberplate in view was BO55 MAN, NIP being sent to keepers address"
It would be brilliant if it was this isolated. But it seems like every step in surveillance always leads to more surveillance. It's always some innocent excuse, without ever drawing the full picture together with preexisting stuff.
There's now a generarion that has grown up without ever having experienced not being watched.
I'm on the fence with your statement because it kinda describes WRC cars and they're FUCKING AWESOME
In general I wouldn't mind people having the freedom to make their cars impossible to sit any reasonable amount of time inside, but I don't currently have a suggestion on how to make certain peeps be not assholes in residential areas.
In regards to WRC - isn't that world rally championship? I don't think I've ever seen one happening anywhere near apartment buildings on single lane streets with cars parked on both sides and kids' playground nearby.
I'm an American who stumbled here by accident but do you guys have many cars/bikes that are noisy out of the factory? The guys running Civics with a pineapple shooter look like assholes but I kind of get it if you've got a big V8 that just sounds like that
Nothing really sounds loud out of the factory. It's always the peashooters with custom exhaust.
