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.

If we had capable leadership, I'd absolutely agree with you. Evidence is telling me that's just not happening, and not going to happen any time soon, though. Instead, it's far more likely any data they do get will be "anonymised", bundled up and sold off to a company the person making the decision has a large stake in, if not by this government than by the next.
No idea why would would be downvoted without a comment, though. It might be wishful thinking, but your commentary is legitimate.
