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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
With about 1.5 million tax credit recipients set to be transferred on to the system from September, campaigners fear many more households will be alerted to years-old debts.
The charity Citizens Advice told the BBC an "illogical situation" had occurred in which households facing deductions were being referred to local authority hardship schemes - funded by the DWP - for support.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which managed Ms Crow's tax credits, has previously admitted an error in calculating how much she owes.
Grace Brownfield from the Money Advice Trust charity told the BBC losing benefits income made a "massive difference" to those affected.
Sylvia Simpson, from the debt advice service Money Buddies in Leeds, told the BBC they had come across cases where deductions had been wrongly taken because of system error.
