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.

Labor is not exclusive to capitalism dumbass
That your default insult is “get a job” is telling. You want my labor value but you don’t want my free will. What you’d like is for me to be so invested in expending my labor elsewhere I don’t have the time or energy to question and confront you and your values. Not gonna happen.
You can go get that job now
I’ll provide my labor when and where I see fit and to causes I feel are worthy of the effort, not because some random person on the internet demands it or attempts to undercut my argument by implying making it is a misuse of my time. Like all people, I am free to do with my existence as I please, when I please, and while I value what we can achieve together as a society, it’s still a mass of individuals and not a mindless collective. You keep taking the time to respond, why are you here saying “get a job” and not focused on your own “job”?
Don't care didn't ask, get busy loser
I’m aware you don’t care, that’s why I’m here to remind you and everyone else that you don’t actually care about individuals, only what they can provide.
You provide nothing, seek employment
I fully embrace providing nothing of tangible value to you personally and doing as I please with my existence in the endeavors I see worth giving my time and labor to. Currently, resisting your demands is a low cost, low effort exercise of my free will. I’m not obligated to labor but I have to live with the fruits of my own labor (or lack thereof). Neither you personally nor society as a whole get to dictate or demand what I do with myself and my labor, and I will aggressively defend my right and the right of others to exist without being subject to the demands of you or society. Do as thou will and live by the results.
Of course talk is cheap. It’s the internet, and this is an anonymous forum. Neither of us have to come to blows over our differences. I can talk shit for days and all you can do is reply with memes. Is this really the best you can offer? No wonder why the left is losing. The fascists are grinding us under realtime while we debate with memes.
