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.

I don't see the point in drinking alcohol

It feels nice, can be tasty, and in moderation (which is less than most people believe) not unreasonably harmful.

Not for me anyway. Not judging anyone who does

I don't care. It stinks from 10m away. I'm not pouring it into my mouth.

There is no safe amount of alcohol consumption.

And there's no safe walking down the street, cycling round town, or climbing outdoors, but we don't need to let ourselves be paralysed by risk.
