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.

Frankly, I hope Pret goes into liquidation. The high street is dying because there's too many franchises that squash local businesses into submission.

And the nerve of these companies to have subscription services for coffee is disgusting. Rent seeking is shit in general, but in the food industry? It's a low I never thought we'd sink to.

The day McDonald's starts a subscription service is the day I finally admit the human race deserves to go extinct.
