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.

The problem is that the entire economy is fucked. I don't think the answer is to subsidise the restaurant industry.

The largest single share of the benefit goes to big business to increase profits (rather than cut prices)

VAT is a regressive tax. so its replacement with a wealth tax should be supported by all... Except the wealthy I guess. But VAT needs replacing, not removing. Give that money to the poorest, and they'll go to restaurants.
