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.

The resources required to enforce such rules are controlled by the people who benefit from that not being the rules. Hell, the IRS has essentially said they don't have the resources to go after the biggest tax evaders because it costs too much.

Excuses it cost everyone more if they don't

I realize that's an old article, but the problem is just the fucking MAGAt Rapepublicans gutting the IRS. I mean, on one hand you are right, they don't have the manpower. By design. By the oligarchs who own the gov't.

"It costs too much" is a horseshit excuse when the result of the audit would likely pay for itself many times over. Use the first couple of years to automate/streamline as much of the process as you can, and they'll likely start just paying the damn things like they should have been in the first place, if only to avoid the hassle.
