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.

They did, however, do a public good.
I'm sure Channel 4 loses similar amounts for some of the Dispatches.

ITV seem to be so mismanaged. I know money is tight in TV these days but they should at least be breaking even on their big shows.

In my opinion they only occasionally have good shows like this and the rest is a bit crap. Plus ITV X (or whatever it’s called this month) is the worst streaming service app I have ever tried to use.

It doesn't work on my smart TV. I go to play a show and it loads the ad just fine and then it just crashes.

It's definitely not the internet it's just the app is rubbish if you shut it down and restart it it might sometimes work but I can't honestly be bothered with it. If I actually want to watch an ITV show, it's infinitely easier to just torrent it and then put it on Plex.

They made an Irvine Welsh detective drama series called Crime. This was excellent. It does seem like most of their dramas are overdone police/detective shows. Crime had great writing and dark humour. But I don't think it would have been picked up by ITV if it wasn't a police drama.
