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.

A bigoted tangent.
What does the length of someone's hair have to do with anything?
If we wish to normalise self expression we need to self express. If everybody becomes short haired shirt wearing drones then any expression of individuality becomes deemed even more extreme than it already is.
I understand the point of vandalising a statue of a highly regarded politician and "war hero" not achieving much but garnering public ire, but the point of people dressing and wearing their hair as they please just screams intolerant judgemental arsehole.
The length of someone's hair has to do with people's internal prejudices about them... unfortunately.
You're calling this guy bigoted for just pointing that out. Now, imagine the viewpoint of someone who actually holds disdain for long-haired fellows and we begin to see how we may be beholden to at least some societal congruence - at least if we want our message heard.
