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 full redesign, coming into effect from December, will be the first since passports turned dark blue after Brexit.

Shame they aren't changing them back to burgundy whilst they're at it.

The King probably had one as Prince of Wales, but Queen Elizabeth II I don't believe ever had one.

The Prince of Wales' car collided with a deer while he was driving at the Queen's Balmoral Castle estate in Scotland over the weekend.

Prince Charles walked away uninjured from behind the wheel, but his car, an Audi, was damaged. Clarence House declined to comment on the crash.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take your permission note I gave you to drive away. We can't have you smashing into my deer."

I remember Prince Philip had one, he actually was pressured into giving it up after getting into a car accident.

Now I know how The Onion feels around Trump news stories.
