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.

Immunocomprimised may potentially be a big risk landing someone in hospital if they inhaled something from the atmosphere that a weakened Immune system could handle

Sometimes that risk could end up being fatal

Fyi not a doctor but most people excluding anti-vaxers know how immune systems work

If you are that endagered that you can't take it off for a few seconds, you would also not be casually walking around with a normal mask... They are not a 100% protection.

Really shouldn't have to take the risk to stick a cross next to your favourite Oxford University graduate's figurehead

People also don't want to end up in hospital feeling horrible as well

Immunocomprimised people have died because of covid and the anti vax idiots increased the amount of times that happened
