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.

a post-pandemic low

It's peak guardian to ignore that it's still higher than pre-pandemic, and not have a graph in the article. Then have a classic "the poors are dumb" headline https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/bulletins/longterminternationalmigrationprovisional/yearendingjune2025

Peak Lemmy to be downvoted for this comment.

It has more upvotes than down, so it's an improvement over Reddit I suppose...

it's also peak guardian to claim we are "post-pandemic" as covid continues to run completely unchecked

Well not really. It ceases to be a pandemic and just becomes endemic at a point. Just like the flu. We don't say we're in a flu pandemic. Because it's normal at this point. It's endemic.
