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.

Poor people do breathe dirty air. Somewhere like Harringey only 40% of households own cars. Thats the poorest 60% who have to hoover up particulates from the richer 40% and the people commuting in.
If it’s segregation by financial status it’s not the poorest the suffer.
It'll be interesting to see the pollution data when they release it. But the further it expands from the city centre, the less public transport, and the more people are dependent on cars.
It's be okay if they offered a decent scrappage scheme and invested in a public transport system so fewer cars were needed.
