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.

Guess they'll die. What a shame.
That's what happens when you fail to maintain things for 30+ years, syphon off all the money for shareholders, and then cry poverty when the government decides that just flushing everyone's shit into the river isn't an acceptable way to deal with it.
Tighten the rules further and nationalise any company that can't keep up. Should never have been privatised in the first place. I, a fairly normal person, cannot pick and choose which company provides my water like I can with electricity, gas and internet. So what's the point of having a company run it?
