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.

That's not how this stuff works at all.

Hold up....

Are you saying that instead of letting anyone build anything, and then the government has to find everything and investigate to make sure it's safe....

That instead we should set regulations for safe building and require people to get permits notifying the city of the build so it could be approved before it was built?!?!

You might be on to something here...

/s

Really disappointing so many people didn't understand that incredibly basic system and downvoted you.

Ummmm excuse me. Lemmy will tell you how "this stuff" works. Even if it doesn't. Lemmy will tell you.
