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.

Gambling is a terrible addiction. We should treat users and work to eradicate suppliers. Why is it so hard for humans to improve their own condition?!

Tax them into oblivion, then use the money for rehabilitation.

Honestly the high street casinos are one of the strangest things in this country.

I literally don't think I've ever seen someone step into one, yet they're on every high street. You see old fellas using the sport betting shops a bit, but never these mini casinos

Does it literally only take the occasional poor sod to keep these places open or are people just getting in when it opens and not leaving until it closes?
