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.

Water and Sewage Companies are unable to increase bills to cover penalties.
What happens when they simply increase bills and say "Nothing to do with fines!"? We know they are going to increase them again.
During the price review period (back in 2024 and due again in 2029) WaSC publish their business plans. Along with this the companies performance is reviewed for the last period. WaSC will recieve the go ahead to raise bills to cover the improvements / investments they've made. OFWAT then accepts the business plans or rejects those who aren't meeting the targets.
