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.

Are the yanks still obsessed with their mad idea that London has no-go zones rife with knife gangs and sharia law, even though you’re more likely to get shot in the states for knocking on someone’s door than get stabbed in London and sharia law pretty much amounts to marriage counselling?

Socially Trained Emotional Knowledge. The media tells you what to believe and social media is gives you fake knowledge and how to feel about it.
