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.

It is noticeable that the Green protest movement has been seriously worked on by the state. Much of this is the draconian infringements on the right to protest but it's mixed with the mainstream media refusing to report on what climate protests occur combined with the state's boosting of the Green Party as a vehicle for distracting protest. Those in comtrol would tolerate a handful of Green MPs and Green-led councils rather than hundreds of thousands on the streets involved in protest and direct action.
