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.

Around here in Texass land, I'd speculate it's Dodge Ram trucks. Hyper aggressive. But I'd also speculate that oversized roll coal truck culture isn't much of a thing in the UK.

Road accident, it's in the name.

In FL it’s any bubba in a jacked rolling coal POS. The latest is the “carolina stance” makes the truck look like it has to take a crap. 10+ years ago it would have been the idiot civic boys weaving around causing the accidents.

I had to look it up... And I have no idea why anyone would want to do that. Any ideas?

You'd be right. Ram sized trucks literally don't fit down London streets sized for horses & carriages from centuries ago, they're very rare here.
