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.

PM announces 100 new licences, claiming UK fossil fuel projects key to meeting net zero aim

Ah yes, how would they achieve net zero without fossil fuels??

How do you make steel for wind turbines without fossil fuels? How do you build a nuclear power station without fossil fuels? How do you replace all the petrol and diesel cars in the country with electric ones, without using fossil fuels? Where is all the electricity going to come from? It's complicated.
