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.

Just to put this into context for some people:
Profits up nearly 900%. Fucking disgusting.
Almost £900m taken from people's spending power. Money that could have been used to make lives better, like higher quality food, holidays, housing, transport.
It's not even "higher quality". This profiteering is forcing British families into severe hardship. We have something like 2 million children living in poverty. All while some foreign corporation is ringing the cash registers.
