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.

Maybe the left should care more about starving children and less about what JK Rowling posts on Twitter.
Maybe the left should be building a broad coalition with everyone who’s fed up of there being starving children instead of chastising and cancelling normal working class people for not getting the latest most esoteric gender discourse.
No. Genders are way more important than children.
You know it must be great being the Left. A totally external locus of control. It’s the Tories! It’s the bigots! It’s the billionaires!
I’ll digress a bit here and give you an example. In my country there’s an organisation called Marks21. They say they are a “movement to build a worker’s party.” They’ve existed for more than 20 years now. No worker's party in sight. But what do they occupy their time with? Endless discussions on gender. And before you accuse me of bashing the woke, this organisation is actually very transphobic.
What I am saying, and you’re wilfully ignoring, is that the left is also to blame here. Not just the Tories. Not just the billionaires.
The left has abandoned common people instead focusing on academia and middle class liberals cosplaying as radicals. This left would rather pal around with woke corporations while denouncing normal people over fringe and esoteric issues like neopronouns.
