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.

The best thing is that in Northern Ireland, their fines aren't legally enforceable. All they can do is send you angry letters.

To be fair it's not for off in the UK, the rules are so flimsy that the chance of you actually being taken to court is almost zero. So instead you just have to put the angry letters in the bin until they finally get bored.

Northern Ireland is in the UK. I just specified this as the courts might work differently here. I know England has bailiffs and such. And for all we know, unless you've lived in or are familiar with Wales and Scotland, it could be the same situation there, too.

England ≠ The UK

Sorry, amateur mistake, I meant Britain.
