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 such a hurry as to get irate at someone going slightly slower, but has enough time to stop, get out of his van and assault someone.

Failures of justice systems like this encourage people taking matters into their own hands

"The judge said because he was employing people as a roofer they didn't send him to jail."

Note to self: get some employees and I can break the law as I wish.

They hand out free packets of the stuff when you buy the ladders - people might go into those trades clean but they all come out cokeheads

They've always got something to snort with I guess
