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.

It's almost like they're a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

That's because they are.

But yes you are right. Here's a reminder.

And more recently here.

Maybe all those business that claim no one wants to work and that we need to get in low paid immigrants wasn't good for society in the long term.

This isn't even anything new, Engels wrote about it in 1845.

Holy shit the BBC site had gone downhill just like the actual channel. What a cancerous site full of trackers and irrelevant shit.
