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.

We'll bankrupt the NHS if we're all living on fois gras and wagyu, my arteries are bound to be struggling as it is.
I take your point. But you could make the same argument for many things that are already very affordable.
Personally, I'm against nanny taxes, they only work against people who are financially struggling, yet ironically it's generally the poorest people that have the worst health, especially when it comes to obesity.
I think there is work to be done on improving the health of the population, but I'd like to drive that from a perspective of education or a carrot rather than a stick method.
