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 work with boomers that were given everything, house with the job or a council house and the right to buy, final salary pensions, free education, free prescriptions, publicly owned utilities, a path to progress up the pay scale and they voted it all away when it was my generations turn to benefit.
Plenty of money for their generation, but now it's our turn and suddenly the money is gone. This is the generation that struts about telling us that we don't know how good we have it, sitting in their paid off houses that cost 3-5x the average salary whilst we pay £1000pm to the slumlord, triple locked pensions whilst we suffer real term pay cuts.
There's never been a greedier, more selfish, entitled generation than the boomers. The first generation in history to leave the world worse off than when they inherited it.
Fuck them.
