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.

So they're just a criminal gang taking advantage of disenfranchised people and dressing it up as Robin Hood?
You'd think all this effort would be better spent elsewhere doing something more productive.
because literally stealing to give to the poor is somehow not like Robin hood
I know you. You're the coworker who hears "we have to stop these shoplifters, they're the reason you don't get a raise" and goes all Dwight Schrute crazy ready to literally shoot someone for pocketing something despite the fact that you've worked there 20 years and never got a raise that even matched inflation. That's you.
No you don't. But thanks anyway 😊.
Idk what about stealing overpriced food and giving it away for free is taking advantage of disenfranchised people?
@als @mannycalavera honestly it's mostly not overpriced. That's a perception. It just sells more of the expensive brands, but brand for brand and value ranges compared, it's barely different from the others. Sainsbury's would be a better pick if they want a) overpriced and b) money funnelled directly to outside shareholders.
