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.

And water while we're at it.

It is beyond ludicrous that these things were ever privatised in the first place.

In Ireland they're watching the mess with the trains and water unfold for years, and their government are making moves to privatise their water and trains.

They’re letting the franchises expire because buying the operators out would be very expensive. That said, if any go bust in the meantime they will be brought back earlier

that's good, but fuck their support for genocide and criminalising protesting against genocide.
