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.

Steady on mate. Why the personal attacks?

I'm against traditions made hundreds of years ago today that make no sense in modern society. Why do you need to carry a knife around? That's why I brought up the other example as one where religious traditions can change - and should.

Presumably you are against people wearing crosses, tattoos of significant people or events in somebodies life, football shirts, or any other symbol of something to care about.

There's no need to straw man an argument. What's the point of that?
