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.

Is there anyone left who doesn't already know that smoking is bad for you? Prohibition is dumb and doesn't work but it seems there isn't much left to be done in the education department. I think it's time we just let people make their own decisions and shut up about it. There's plenty of other perfectly legal things that people fuck up their health with. I'm not sure why we talk so much about this particular thing.
I mostly agree, but I would still appreciate more education, maybe more in areas like second hand smoke, so that smokers don’t impact everyone else with their decisions.
Barbeques are fine but spark up a cigarette in the garden and you have to worry about who's health you're harming? Daft.
