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.

Doesn't matter. I fully understand that correlation does equal causation.

The pro Brexit media would spin everything as being the fault of the EU. So why can't people who are pro EU spin everything that's bad as being because of Brexit?

There's nothing false about the headline I put forward (its there in the article) it's just spin. And that's still better than the out and out lies we were fed by the eurosceptic press in the decades up til our leaving.
