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.

Public understanding of UK cage use is low, but among people who are aware of 'enriched' colony cages, 94% are strongly against them.

Mist of the chickens you eat are about 8 weeks old and have grown up in such a small cage that their legs don't develop property. They have a horrible short life.

Out of those 3 in 4, how many do you think would accept new information about how they're wrong about caged chickens being a thing of the past without getting weird about it?

I assume that cage free means 1 mm extra cage space
