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.

One person commented: “Targeting hardworking people just trying to get by, well done.”

One thing I've noticed when I get those Police postings on FB and places like that - if the Police FB posting is about stopping a driver/rider and doesn't mention the nationality half the comments are "Why don't you catch real criminals" and the other half are "Why are you targeting people just trying to earn a living?". If the Police post mentions that it was a foreign driver/rider, all the comments are "Well done for keeping us safe" "Keep up the good work!"
