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.

This is my city and I’m ashamed, but not shocked.
I’ve had an argument with the police before for refusing homeless people access to the local library bathrooms, as apparently some people will use drugs. Like we can ban everybody who looks homeless because of the actions of some.
Some cops will drag you through Manchester City centre, should we ban them all.
"I'm sorry but you're going to have to poo outside, lest you be taking drugs in the toilet"
Wtf are they expecting to prevent, anyway?
"OK officer you got me, I was going to use drugs. But since you've refused me entry into these loos I'm going to quit. I'm totally not going to take them outside instead, where it's even less hygienic and in potential view of the public."
To add some context, it was central library in St Peter’s Square (the same place as this video) and I believe some people had caused damage to the toilets with the drug use, not that I condone all people being banned.
Plus you can bet if you’re refused access to a toilet and decide well I’ll have to piss somewhere, they’ll fine you for pissing in the street. And yes they would give a homeless person a fine.
May as well ban MPs from using the HoC bathrooms, if that's the justification.
Why is a Manc using a dirty, rotten, filthy Gerry user account?
Do you have no honour? No decency?
What do you mean Gerry?
German you wazzock! Gerry-German.
As a born and bred Manc, I’ve got love for all nations.
Aaaw that's sweet. 🥰
This is one of the weirdest interactions I've ever seen online
Right. I am one of the parties involved and confused.
My art teacher in secondary school once called me a "freak". 🙂
