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.

Rule of meat being served to be changed for his company to then cater more food that doesn't have meat in it. I don't know how you don't see the obvious conflict of interest of a dude with a vegan catering company who supplies schools pushing for more vegan meals in schools.

Any company can provide meat-free food. There is no reason this change in law should disadvantage his competitors.

But it will give advantage to his company directly. Like, honestly, I don't know if you just want to push some narrative but there is an obvious conflict of interest that you are dismissing without addressing it.

You seem to be under the apprehension that making food without meat in it is some mystic art that is beyond the comprehension of anyone other than his company. What is stopping any other company producing exactly the same products as his? Changing the law will have no effect on the marketplace.
