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 can see limiting highly-restrictive speed limits, as there could be a broader public interest outside of the location placing the limit in having traffic moving. Like, when traffic is moving from point A to B to C, B may be on the only route from A to C and not care how long it requires to get from A to C. But B's restrictions still affect people at A and C.

But how does limiting traffic cameras make sense? I mean, either you have a speed limit or you don't. I can't see a good argument for limiting enforceability of speed limits.
