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.

Hasn't this been on the books for like 10 years now? I remember hearing about this when I was in high school

You’re thinking of the failed scheme to build a Paramount theme park near Dartford.

I definitely heard about it before then. There was a whole argument with the local council as to a train station, can't remember the details.

Wixams station has been on the cards since that was developed, and it's only recently got the go ahead. That argument has been raging for a long time.

Universal is rather newer.
