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.

There is no air conditioning ban in the UK, experts have told Big Issue – despite Conservative Party claims to the contrary.

Tory shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho said that the Tories would overturn “the de-facto ban on air-con” and “Make Britain Cool Again.”

It's nice to see the Tories beong called out when they lie. Unfortunately not many people read the Big Issue, so I worry the lie will spread further than the truth
