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.

Won't somebody please think of the shareholders!? And spare a thought for those poor CEOs who might have to sell a Ferrari in order to eke out a meagre living if the taxes go up by 1%!
That's the rub, they wouldn't have to sell anything. There would be absolutely zero change to their lifestyle. The only difference is that the impossibly high numbers on their profit statements would be a little lower. They'd only be able to hoard away enough money for 1000 lifetimes of unimaginable luxury instead of 1001 lifetimes. It's so ridiculously preposterous that governments are catering to the biggest misers on the planet instead of helping people who are literally starving and homeless.
Quarterly projections must go up. That is the sole measure of how good a society is.
