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.

Reynolds added the sentencing guidelines for offences involving a firm the size of Kismet provided a range of fines between £15m and £24m, which he called "wholly unrealistic".

Judge Huw Rees said at the time of the offending, fraudulent activity had been "endemic" at the firm and he said it had engaged in "considerable dishonesty" over a prolonged period.

He noted the significant steps the firm had taken in the years since the offending, and he said it was a case where harm was difficult to determine.

Fuck that. Put the scumbags out of business, £500k fine is nothing when it should be £15 - 24 million. No care for public health, only profit. Mixing various meats, lips, and arseholes and passing it off as lamb meat.

A fine is not a punishment. A fine is a fee.

They’d better take a look at my local supermarkets too then. The chicken is mainly fat, connective tissue and water.

Mostly? Surprised there was anything else.
