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 going to be really tough for the next government to get out of this hole. god forbid the labour party don't manage to make significant steps within one term.
Cause then we might get Farage and his ilk
This seems to be a repeating pattern everywhere around Europe.
Conservatives fuck up the economy and society in general, leftists get elected and try to fix things but face resistance from conservatives, conservatives blame leftists for everything they fucked up themselves, even more extreme conservatives get voted in because people are morons and conveniently forget who it was who was responsible for the problems that conservatives claim are all the left's fault. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a global thing, really...
Very true, unfortunately. Probably isn't going to get any better before things get much worse first, either
Let's do try to not make that happen somehow, though.
Wish I knew how.
Voting doesn't seem to be the thing that's going to unfuck this, considering how popular right wing extremists are right now and how morons are voting for them in droves, at least here in the EU.
