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.

I'm glad to see people like you who thinks that eating shit is a choice. It's cute.

Let me explain how it works for some who are not as privileged: when people are hungry, they buy cheap. It doesn't matter if some over privileged cunt think they are eating shit. It matters that something fills hungry, grumbly tummies. Especially for ones with kids. People really need to get off their fucking high horses and just let people eat. Jesus. It's not hard.

Yes it may not be the healthiest. But it sure beats outright starvation.

That's not true for UK where, once again, food is RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP. You can literally make three meals for a price of one ready meal from supermarket without bulk buying in advance. People who eat shit are fucking idiots to say the least.

The real privilege here is defending unhealthy life styles and choices instead of promoting healthy and cheaper ones. UK public is way too rich to be able to overprices shit and fight for it.

I agree with your sentiment, but how can people be starving if obesity is an epidemic?
