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.

“I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but I don’t think some people should get NHS treatment”

I think she should get NHS treatment. I'm quite sure she'll be getting cutting-edge private treatment partly paid for by my taxes thay are gifted to her for marrying the right guy.

The family are independently wealthy and most of the money from the Sovereign Grant goes on official business. Indeed, for the last couple of years- IIRC - expenditure has exceeded the grant. I think it’s pretty unlikely that much of your money is going on any private chemo.

Mmmm royal boot.

Kick these benefit cheats out, no more welfare scrounging.

If you had said antdemocratic, classist, unrepresentative or elitist, you would have a strong position. Going with ‘benefit scroungers’ just makes you look silly.
