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.

You know how much a 2006 petrol engine car costs?
Actually it isn't a poor person tax - if you look at a borough like Haringey, less than 50% of household own a car - they are the poor people.
I think a lot of 2015 and older diesel cars don't qualify. I know my friend's volvo doesn't. UK has a big number of diesel cars. They're efficient and reliable. Those got hit the most.
Unfortunately they don't use the Ad Blu system - so they spew out a lot of PM 2.5s, sadly. It;'s why I got myself a 2016.
...and spewing out shit which causes harm to people's lungs when in dense areas like cities.
Do you not like clean air?
I have a 2015 diesel that claims to be an SUV (but I think it forgot about the S) In any case it's fine, so i'm not sure which cars it is that full foul of the scheme. As far as I can tell you practically have to be driving a tractor.
