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.

I use a van for work and have to park it at home as part of my contract, why should I have to pay higher rates for that, or pay for parking somewhere a distance away from my home?
Parking provision (and lack thereof) is the fault of the builder/developer/local authority, not the people who need to use that parking.
Sounds like you've got a local parking issue that needs to be addressed, not collectively punishing every tradesperson.
