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.

It takes twelve of them to wheel a nana out does it? Fucking joke. What an absolute waste of resources. You can't get one to turn up to a burglary or assault up here, but they've got twelve spare to piss around wheeling a nana about because she might have hurt poor ickle Israel's feelings.
There’s 12 cops there because they know they’re doing something so abhorrent that if they only had one or two cops with her, they’d likely get mobbed. It’s a cowardice thing.
I mean I'm pretty sure they also think the law is bullshit and they'd rather not be wasting their time with it. However arrests like these are probably the best way to get the law overturned (and reduce their responsibilities and workload..)
