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.

Could an intergalactic space warrior become the #UK's newest member of #parliament? Now that he is the only likely challenger to Nigel #Farage's seat in the #Clacton-on-Sea by-election, the chances of him entering the House of Commons have never been this high.

Last I saw Binface was polling at 30% to Farage at 70%. Fingers crossed the UK voters see reason, though...

Binface voters don’t answer polls.

The polls go straight in the... bin.
