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.

As a black person the reading 'Of Mice and Men' nowadays probably is not an enjoyable experience. (I'm not black).

For her I'd imagine hearing certain words being read out in a white dominated class is an uncomfortable experience.

It was a classic way back then......but times have changed and it no longer deserves that accolade.

But the UK/US education system has always struggled with what makes a 'classic'. #Reading #Education #Classic
