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.

Seems to me a better system would be a licensing/deposit system for such events. You can't pitch a tent unless you've paid a deposit that's refundable a week after the event should your tent not show up in the debris.

A partnership with Decathlon could be made to attach scannable serials to various parts to aid in identification of the debris.

As someone who used to volunteer to get into fests for free a bunch back in the day, the amount of shit people leave behind is beyond ridiculous. Still bur ing charcoal grills used to drive me nuts on cleanup. Good way to get free shit though.

Even if the tents get left behind, the tatters will definitely jump on this!

How else will they afford ketamine and to go out drinking in Werburg's?
