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.

Did anyone actually read the article:

"The ban - which covers all spaces in North Somerset open to the public".

I live in South Somerset (Yeovil) but since the county went even more bizarre and decided to amalgamate into some mad centralised Somerset County thingie instead of the old Somerset regions. who knows what this ruling even means?

@mex@feddit.co.uk - fix the title to note coverage only applies to North Somerset (whatever that is). It's shitty to imply something that doesn't apply to the vast majority of a county, let alone the country.

The title is the title from the BBC I am not editorialising it.

It's from a BBC local site, which is entitled to assume that readers know which section they're in. You need to add context or it just becomes misleading clickbait.
