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.

Why does this seem to happening regularly for different businesses now?

Some people are suggesting there may be a malicious actor at work, after multiple business have been struck with this in such a short space of time.

It’s also possible the affected business all use a common payment handling software which is experiencing issues.

Wonder if there's some third party software that they're all using that's having a rough few days, or has been updated and broken something?

The bosses have decided they don't need to pay anyone to maintain their money-printing machines?
