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.

Surprisingly Anti-Tory, usually other papers try to give Tories wiggle room. These guys don’t give Tories any quarter

Given tory behavior over recent years.

Its fair to say giving them quater is a fairly biased representation.

Lets face it. If any non politician committed the crimes and allowed the fraud that tories have since the pandemic. Most would accuse a paper making excuses for them as dishonest?

It’s frustrating that almost every paper I read besides the Star, gives them some benefit of the doubt

Follow the money. % of advertisers not voting tory. In no way represents % of voters overall.

When media depends on advertising it will never be unbiased.
