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.

Legalization could put an end to that, as seen in other countries - even youth use goes down, not just the safety up

But probably better to discriminate more against those dirty drug users and enable more assholes abusing that situation

He has agreed to sell what he claims to be THC vape liquids to a schoolgirl – an illegal substance which is the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.

However, we suspect it actually contains spice, a more potent drug that is highly addictive and can cause serious side effects.

Okay, fair play. Just reading the headline alone and the first paragraph, I was thinking that this reporter was a total jobsworth.

But, spice can be a pretty nasty drug, and essentially spiking teenagers with it when they're just trying to get some weed is real scumbag behaviour.

Pretty sure I played this quest in Cyberpunk yesterday.
