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.

Thank god our wonderful privately owned water companies are so good and efficient and forward thinking and have planned ahead for a growing population and drying climate and built extra capacity and have invested in eliminating leaks and waste and improved the sewage trameatment system right?

The profit motive is literally the only possible way you could get an organisation to be so efficient!

Once the water is poisoned, the air unbreathable, all movement surveilled, and the "others" banned, will the UK's people vote for the Greens?

We all know the answerThey won't

It's fine though: They've just asked for freedom from liability. And I'm sure they're going to use that power to build a reservoir or something...
