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.

She was arrested just yesterday but the media circus about this has been going for months, if not years, so it’s not really anything to do with a party leader being arrested. It’s important that there’s an investigation and that any wrongdoing is handled appropriately of course. I’m not an SNP supporter by any stretch, it’s just such a boring news story but the press are obsessed with it for some reason.
Agreed that the whole partygate thing was total nonsense as well, it was a ridiculous media frenzy over something that wasn’t really important.
The UK media appears to have been reduced to tabloid journalism and it’s just really frustrating.
