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.

There’s poo in the rivers and it’s now going to be illegal to be homeless, did I wake up in the past?

I think it’s time the Conservative Party had a rebrand because they really don’t seem to be conserving much these days. Except for established wealth that is.

They should rename themselves to "The Radically Regressive Party"

How and terry from the american colonies, I hear in the past the french found a solution to this.

The French still have a solution to this. If Brits were more on board with damaging property we'd get more done.

If you want to go and start a riot be my guest. But in no way shape or form will it help with the current situation. So really you're just starting to riot because you want one.

I don't think sitting and suffering (the english way) is to be applauded either, and since we have tentative control of our democracy, I'm not sure what other meaningful options we have
