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.

Tory graph is not a serious paper - its pure propaganda.

Hear me out on this, I don't think that's enough to be hated

There SHOULD be people who make a lot of money. That should be achievable. The problem is the billionaires and multi-millionaires who prevent that

I think this article shows that it's even starting to affect the almost-mega-rich

Its revealing that the 'middle class' is a lie, it doesn't exist. We're all poor compared to the super wealthy, even at $350k.

I draw the line at 5 holidays a year

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 hours ago

Nah everyone should get infinity holidays. That just shouldn't make you rich.

depends on what you mean by holidays I guess. If a holiday is something like hanging out with some friends/family for a few night of hobbies and food/drink, or a bbq, or like going camping at a campground in your region, then five holidays is perfectly ok to me. If holidays means summering at a chateau in the riviera, then, yeah, that's a pretty good line.

In this context I think by holiday they mean abroad.
