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.

MODERATORS
Here in Cambridge, the "Sustainable Travel Zone" was just torpedoed, killed largely by a curiously well funded "grassroots" campaign. The biggest public condemnation came from the Conservative minority on council.
In the end, it died because too many from the Labour/Libdem (mostly Libdem) majority flip-flopped on it out of fear of losing the next election to Conservatives.
This is what we get when we elect opportunistic cowards.
