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.

I've stopped drinking during the week, and cut down at the weekends. Went out last night and insisted on driving so I had a reason not to.

Mainly health reasons, I'm 42 and the pounds don't fall off as quickly as they used to

I'm doing way way way more than my part. My liver is downright heroic.

Weed doesn’t give you a hangover. Just sayin’

Definitely not true with edibles.

I made a brownie to share with a buddy, with just over 700mg of THC total. Definitely something to feel the next morning!

It does if you try hard enough.

Stay hydrated!

Shit’s expensive. And you can’t mix it with a lot of the medications people are already on.
