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.

Well that and they're on the BDS list which is why I stopped going.
BDS?
Boycott, Divest, Sanction. Its a long running movement to economically isolate Israel using targeted boycott campaigns against companies and organisations assisting the Israeli state.

This is why 3 letter acronyms are stupid. No one could have worked that out.
Isn't some degree of familiarity necessary for all initialisms? NIMBY doesn't give any hints about its meaning either.
Yes, that's the problem.
So is McDonald’s and their UK profit doubled in the last year, so sadly I don’t think BDS is having much of an effect there.
Let’s hope that changes. It feels helpless at times but every less $ they get the better.
