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.

There are currently three investigations ongoing, at Jesus College, Cambridge University and Queens University Belfast, and calls for an investigation into the first investigation at Cambridge.
In short, it’s a whole big mess, and it may take months or years to straighten out.
It is a total cluster fuck.
And siccing Carter-Fuck on TES isn't a good look.
That it became a mainstream media circus focused on sensationalism made it all harder to dig to the truth.
Hopefully people (or at least the left and left adjacent folk) can approach it as a non-partisan issue.
