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.

For the record, both my partner and I have kept up with our vaccine schedule, and both mask (I'm on immunosuppressive medication) - I've likely not caught it once, and he's only caught it once, likely bc he got careless. I still travel fairly frequently, internationally. We go out, have fun. Neither of our lives have stopped, we're just more careful. Keep our distance from others. As an added bonus, I don't have to smell the underground anymore, at all. Personally masking is 100% worth it. Improved my health and his, and doesn't really impede on us. Though I am tired of nurses asking if I'm I'll bc I'm in a mask when I go in for appointments :/
