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.

Because democracy was always fake. Hope one day we will reach real democracy

Sack all the politicians, they fail at the key part of their jobs: representing the voters. Instead, they represent the biggest donors to the party LLC.

Let everyone vote on everything an MP votes on themselves, directly. We don't need a "representative" to travel to Westminster and vote on our behalf, communication technology makes them obsolete.

Are you sure you hope to reach real democracy? Because in a real democracy, you don't just sit on your ass hoping for things to change.
