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.

Sounds like this will only be available in the UK and you'll need a TV license. So not a great solution for people who are overseas, unless they provide it on a subscription basis.

Yeah. Not exactly free when you'll have to pay £13 a month for the privilege of owning the TV to watch it on.

At £13 a month the TV license is not competitive with streaming services. If this new thing gives you access to the entire back catalog it at least becomes a bit more reasonable.

I dunno, if you add in bbc news and radio and no ads on any services, it's definitely better value than other services
