United Kingdom
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.

Climate change is an easy to solve problem all we have to do is die out. Fortunately governments around the world are working on that one.
Are you suggesting that Hamas and the IDF are working to solve climate change in the worst way possible? 🤔🤷
Their delusions.
A labour government that doesn't contain brexit ultras
The problem is if Labour bring the UK back into the EU the Conservatives are going to start going on about illegitimately denying the will of the people, the actual will of the people not withstanding.
It sets the precedent that you can just flip flop on these things.
The only way to do it would be they would have to be another referendum. And I'm concerned that UKIP idiots would come out of the woodwork once again and mess that up.
No one is talking about rejoining, just repairing the relationships
