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 restrictions also mean that disabled people can’t get a bus for free after 11 pm, because we don’t have social lives or jobs...

It's like their trying to please the right-wing and the reform idiots who will always hate them anyway. Totally tone deaf.

I think they’ve had the exact same bunch of weaselly data analytics people in that the US Democrats did.

Both parties have been conned into believing the Moneyball data superintelligence that says the best chance they have of picking up votes are from “centrists” whose main priorities are hot-button culture war topics.

They’ve let themselves get dragged down into mud-wrestling with the pigs because a computer told them they should.

Labour is trying to please their rich political donors, who tend to be right wing and will always love them, so long as Labour do their donor's bidding.
