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.

What this guy apparently doesn't seem to realise, is that a landfill isn't just filled with rubbish. Animal waste gets sent there too. His hard drive could literally be buried in a ton of dog muck.

Could be worse. Could be pig manure.

Generally, Omnivore dung is worse than herbivore dung as it's the difference between decomposing plants and decomposing meat

I hardly knew herbivore.

I'm sure he realizes that. Why wouldn't he?

He simply values the chance to find that money more than the disgust of going through trash

This has been going on for years. Every time his story is in the media, he brushes the health aspect aside. The council has brought it up repeatedly, but he either doesn't understand, or doesn't care.
