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.

South West Water also claimed it has no legal responsibility to keep the rivers and sea in the counties clean and clear of sewage

The fact that statement could even be made is pretty telling of the state we are in. It’s 2024, not 1524, dumping shit in the sea is something we should have long moved on from.

Ironically, they dumped a lot fewer contaminants in the sea back in 1524.

Yep, 100% reuse of all wastewater and solids!
