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 don't like it so i don't want other independent adults to do it. I want everyone to want and do the same things i do all the time ! >:(

Right but there's some middle ground between no regulation at, and a total ban

It seems to me that raising the minimum age to infinity, like the comment I'm replying to, seems to be a clear call for a total ban. I'm all for not having kids vape, but it seems to me that's more an incompetent parenting issue.
