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.

Even the anti abortion one is bullshit. Yes they're shitbags who want an awful thing, but standing outside clinics shouting at people and handing out fliers is not something that should have you labelled as a potential terrorist.

You haven't heard about people setting these clinics on fire? Physically threatening patients and doctors and death threats?

In the UK? No I havent, in America sure but I havent heard of arson attacks on clinics happening over here.
