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'm with you there. Time to get rid of the largest benefit scroungers around.

As one of the largest land-owners, I'm surprised they're 'benefit scroungers'. Did someone tell you they're dole kings?

They are welfare queens, just like Walmart and McDonald's are some of the biggest welfare queens on this side of the pond. They didn't buy that land. They didn't farm it. They just "own" it mostly for no real reason.

Did someone tell you that they worked hard to be land owners? Did you believe them?
