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.

Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public's love of the underdog and refusing to do what's expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn't bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.

I can't wait for the return of ceefax. It's where all my holidays came from when I was a kid.

Same, but it was Teletext, not Ceefax. My dad got me and my sister tickets to Barbados for £400 return. So first they shipped us off, then when we came back, they shipped the older two off. But they got to extend theirs to four weeks and they got to boat over to Trinidad and Tobago. Still bitter about it.

I got my message on Backchat once and that's how I found out my friend in Year 12 also read it haha. She recognised me even with a pseudonym.
