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 know. There are issues with the police, so now we can't have laws on the books either. Despite circumstances many homeless don't take no for an answer and threaten people. There needs to be a law to detain those people. That's regardless of the help they will or wont get or accept before or after.
Yep you can have the laws.
By keeping them precise in what they allow police to apply.
When the gov use terms like nuisance. It is intentionally verge.
If its about aggressive begging or homelessness. Define it as such. Don't intentionally leave it to a stressed officer to decide.
