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.

Seeing that heatwaves are becoming more and more commonplace, it makes sense. I mean I'm an office worker and I felt like death was at the door Monday and Tuesday when it was really hot, so I cannot imagine what someone with, say, a construction job has to endure.

We can't rely on bosses to do the right thing and send people home when it's too hot, we need something in the law.

What in the actual fuck?

As if workplaces aren't cold enough.

At the time, people had called his decision to locate his fledgling business in frigid Dalwhinnie, in the Scottish Highlands, a foolish move, but Noah MacGregor had had faith that it would all work out.
