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.

Meh. I'm fine with having a royal family - sure there's a bunch of spongers but the fundamental principle of having a bunch of pomp and pageantry for the sake of tradition and jolly flag waving (as opposed to "get rid of the immigrants" flag waving) is fun and worth the price of entry. The price of entry pays rent for a bunch of people who did nothing to deserve it, because that's kind of how it works.
How many cousins deep do you want to go?
