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.

Is it?
I voted remain and whilst I think most would agree it's not going great I'm not sure there's that much interest in rejoining right now.
There's a big difference between thinking it's going poorly and actively wanting to bring Brexit back in a similar sort of way to how it was between 2016 and 2020.
Not to mention that the idea that we rejoin the EU and suddenly everything goes back to being good again (because 2010 - 2015 was a lark for all of us right) seems utterly farcical to most.
We ain't rejoining. We should probably be thinking about repairing old bonds and moving closer to the wider EU community, but I don't even see anyone making it a part of their manifesto that we think about rejoining, heck even the Lib Dems seemed to have accepted that's not on the table right now.
Agreed. I think we should be investing our time and effort into trying to make the best of the situation, rather than constantly moaning that we lost. I voted remain, but even I can see that we're better off as a nation trying to heal the divide and move forward than dwelling in the past.
