United Kingdom
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.

Presuming this is a residential street im sure the neighbours are happy about 100s of people driving in from surrounding towns every day.
I agree there should be easier paths to compliance but clearly these rules exist for a reason and shouldn't be ignored.
Yep. The Man always has to get his cut. This is capitalism wrapped in sheeple wool.
If it were about "safety", then
Donating to food to the hungry wouldn't be a fucking crime, because the systems to ensure that food was fine'd be baseline already.
Produce markets wouldn't be ranked by their area's affluence to ensure the poor get the products closest to spoiling, etc. (Don't even get me started on "expiry" dates)
Food workers would be properly trained, instead of forced to wear gloves to signal for the mewling masses "See? Just like a doctor, and doctors are always clean and safe." —while continuing to touch every goddamn thing they come across for hours w/o washing their hands anymore, much less changing them out.
Instead, people blithely parrot this "safety" bullshit while millions go hungry and perfectly good, edible food is wasted in disgusting amounts every. single. day.
But, hey, at least everyone can (will/has) point at this "law". "Ope, hands are tied, sorry." 😶
Nah, it's about keeping the poors in line and low-key afraid.
I don't think that that is a crime in the UK. Definitely is in the US though...
It's not in the UK's exploitation class' interests yet.
