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 can only read a couple of sentences of their article before it asks me for money, but it appears the gist of it is as follows:

"And normal everyday British people can't afford it any more, not because it's a ridiculous outdated system to favour the ultra-rich, but because evil Labour put a tax on the school fees boo-hoo-cry-whinge-sob, and now it's all full of foreigners, because foreigners don't pay taxes and they get free money from the government and they're all claiming from our benefits and they're all stealing our jobs boo-hoo-cry-whinge-sob"

Literally the exact same talking points that have existed for 100+ years. It’s crazy it still works as well as it does.
