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.

Sorry, bit of a UK-related rant, following this post I saw on Re**it (media.piefed.world)

You get adverts where people drive their cars over beautiful garden chess boards, and up stairs with your smirking face in order to make the woman want sex with you. You get adverts where you pick your kids up from football, actually driving on the pitch behind the goal mouth, and all the kids think you are wonderful. You then drive your stupid fucking car down the middle of a row of tents with people outside, inches from their faces, and they are all wowed at your prowess.

We used to get adverts on telly telling us how to drive safely, now we get adverts imploring us to drive like cunts.
