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.

And then employers moan that nobody wants to work and that young people all leave the country.
not just leave the country- leave the towns in the UK that need to catch up to retain their talent. The brain drain is real, young people leave their small towns because theres no progress or future, most go where the better paid work is. If they want to level up, cutting minimum wage is the opposite of what needs to happen
Gov has never been interested in leveling up, was and is an election strategy. Like saying you'll build 40 new hospitals when what's actually happened is some have been touched up.
Or employing 20 000 police officers that they cut to start with
Just change the tax system. Have some sort if a rebate or something
Companies get 0 for all workers in London, 5% for large cities outside London, 10% for bumfuck nowhere.
