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.

By design. By keeping grift alive, they create a permanent underclass they can always point to and say "Look at those moochers leeching off you!", which is true, but only designed to keep our attention off the millions upon millions the people in power redistribute to themselves and their cronies.
The rot starts at the top.
Yeah when I hear people complaining about those living off the Welfare State I always go off on a mad one about the Amazon Distribution Centre that had local authorities fighting each other to have it in their area. To the point where the winning local authority built a road specifically for the Distribution Centre, and to rub salt into the wound, named it Amazon Way.
Amazon are quite happy to take Taxpayer Money but when it becomes time to pay Tax they're based in a tax haven
Everyone up in arms about Welfare but don't give a fuck about Corporate Welfare.
And that’s not even saying anything about the many, many times that government “incompetence” awarded the contract for the delivery of some goods/service to a tiny company that had only been established in the days/weeks prior by some relation to someone who made the decision about the spending.
The state, in the current design, is basically just a series of smoke and mirrors designed exclusively to steal from us, to fight our fellow humans for them, and thank them for the opportunity.
