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.

Jo Cox was murdered by a fascist wasn't she? What kind of warning are you talking about?
Yeah indeed, and there was the London Riots too.
The warning is simple, by sheer weight of numbers the people hold the power, and violent insurrection against those that hold that power is a resort the people have.
The Capitol Insurrection in the US is just another example of it, they were militarised by Trump.
Point being, politicians always have to try and balance our view because of these warnings. Revolutions aren't pleasant.
Just Stop Oil are already given a bad rap in the press, and these policy flips aren't going to help. I wouldn't be surprised if these policies lead to more extreme protests in the future.
