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.

If they can sell a $650 desk lamp they can keep these people employed.

Fuck Dyson and any other company that lays off workers in any situation that's not literally the last option before literal collapse and failure.

The real sin is that they could charge $65 for that same lamp, still make a profit, and make up the difference via volume sales, if their product is good enough. But we all know what's really going on here so there's no point in trying to convince them to be smart about it when they can be greedy instead.

Premium lower volume items is a perfectly fine business model.
