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.

Good guy The Guardian. For my fellow Brits, here is your regular reminder that there are only two major independent news outlets in the UK: The Guardian and the BBC.
Not a fan of Musk but saying the BBC and Guardian are independent is a stretch.
BBC director and editorial standard setter Robbie Gibb is a rabid Zionist and owner of the Jewish Chronicle, whose funding is a secret.

The Guardian kowtows to the Israel lobby and the right.

Legacy media is inherently self serving and sets whatever narratives are in the interests of the powerful.
