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.

In other news, 24% of Brits are completely delusional about what class they’re in.

You mean there's a chance I won't be a multi-billionaire?

Oh shit

Was watching a video of Greg's economics lately (I didn't know who he was until a random video), am Dutch, so when he said that the movement of thinking bout wealth tax was gaining traction, I couldn't verify it, and his confidence was kinda turning me off

But this is very interesting, fucking hell, I didn't know this. Now let other countries take note of this, so that we can accelerate our own research into this

Scrapping different income tax levels and replacing them with a “flat” income tax that is set at the same level for everybody – 20% in favour

😖

Yeah but like 3 rich people told their politicians that they don't want that so it's not going to happen

What are you gonna do bout it losers?

Didn't we see a headline recently about Brits being wrong about everything? They must not have asked any questions as interesting as this.
