United Kingdom
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.

Bravo that guy and the LRB. An absolutely devastating read. It's concisely written, but still long as it tries to outline the sheer scale of the damage the Tories have done over 14 years. I wish this was read by more people.
Definitely needs a TL;DR.
TLDR: the tories fucked the country in almost every way you can think of, through short termism and ideological zealotry.
Not a very controversial statement - but the article is extremely good if you want that deeper detail and analysis.
