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.

This is a very bare minimum start.

Next they need to reach in to their own fucking pockets to not only fix their outdated and unfit for purpose infustructure, and clean up the ungodly mess they've made, but also reimburse the taxpayer for the damage they've caused to our common waterways and supply.

Then once they're done paying, nationalise the motherfuckers.

I will never understand who thought it was a good idea to privatize an organization that by its very definition, has no competitors, and could never have competitors.

It is all well and good appealing to free market forces but that actually assumes that there is a market for the forces to apply on.
