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 public sector was inefficient and expensive, the private sector efficient, cheap, trustworthy and reliable

Do we treat cattle poorly?

Fuck private equity in general. Fuck them particularly when they're responsible for any human's care and comfort. Just surprised to see vegan messaging leaking into daily discourse.

Nearly 20% cows in UK now kept in battery cages and never go outside.
