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 think it's much worse than that.

If you look at their economic goals they're on a (relative to Tories) good track with a lot of actual progress, but they're engaging in so much unnecessary culture war authoritarian nonsense that is so obviously designed to drive their base away it sure seems like they're only doing it so that when they collapse the conservatives will be able to point at their economic policies and say the public turned on them for those instead of their actual unpopular stances.
