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.

It'd be good if we could get something a bit more left than MOAR NEOLIBERALISM. I'm so done with neoliberal capitalism but it seems that large chunks of the populace still think it's the damn '80s and greed is good.

A party that could seriously offer a decent future could do well. Redistribute some wealth and let's get this shit going. You know what happens when more money goes to the bottom of the pyramid? It goes straight back into the economy.

I don't really get what the point of gargling billionaire balls is. Ruling over ashes doesn't seem like it'd be particularly fun and being able to be bought off with shiny things is frankly embarrassing.
