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.

Sure, but how many of those are watching live to air ? As opposed to the witcher or whatever on a streamer ?
All my friends have TVs and most nights they'll have something on, but it's netflix, Disney+ etc.
I was the laggard on ditching the tv licence - I hadnt had an aerial in 10 years, but I paid it for access to the nonlive BBC stuff. After realising we never actually watched anything I asked around and most everyone responded that they'd ditched it, a few kept it for the occasional "event" programs.
It's certainly not a valid poll (demographics of my pub mates varies on ethnicity but not so much on age and gender), so I appreciate it's a loaded sample, but the near universal reaction was "you're still paying a licence, really ? Why ?
