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.

LFF also claimed the cost of this scheme has hit £290m so far. This is near £3m per head of any potential victim removed from the UK. It does not include the cost of the liabilities built into the scheme for anyone coming from Rwanda back into the UK in the swap scheme.

An immense waste of tax payer's money, and a wholly barbaric policy, on what is nothing more than political games to con the public.

Yes, and this disgusting policy is happening everywhere right now, because there are no answers by the establishment to the problems we face. The ones claiming to be anti establishment on the other hand are just another faction of the establishment albeit with a grotesque fascist outlook.

The answer is very simple, work with the EU. It is what we did before we left. The numbers have gone up since then, it is bloody obvious going it alone is not helping.
