General community for news/discussion in the 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.

When I rented a flat nearly 10 years ago, we had to get a wireless broadband solution as the local area hadn't got any decent broadband installed yet (despite being a brand new village between two towns), however to install it they needed to drill through the entire wall. To do that I needed the landlords permission, but it turns out it was owned by someone (or an entity) in China and the estate agent couldn't get ahold of them, so I said fuck it and just said yes they can go ahead and do it.
That happened to me, but it's a block in the town centre. Houses next door, full on broadband. Flat, nope. BT lines. Connection wasn't very stable. I gave up on it and bought a 5G broadband hub. It works amazing.
...and ever since that day, blackn1ght closes his curtains and lives in fear of the inevitable blowback. Even the smell of wonton soup makes him break out into an intense sweat...
