United Kingdom
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.

They won a by-election by opposing the ULEZ expansion, so now he thinks that reversing any policy which might upset car drivers is a general election winning policy.
Sadly, he's probably right.
I prefer to say they 'barely clung onto a previously pretty safe seat whilst using a wedge issue as a bludgeon to beat the opposition'.
If it was a Tory mayor pushing it they'd have got absolutely fucking obliterated.
It was Boris who introduced the idea of ULEZ and the Tory Party who endorsed it. It was their policy to begin with!
