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.

honestly, ferrari is a clever bloke but he (or I) can’t honestly believe the crap he a) says or b) callers he fails spectacularly to challenge. Alot of them seem open goal.

JOB mystery hour at 11 is still the finest hour on radio, perhaps of all time, but at the same time each week.

I'm getting flashbacks to listening to Jeremy Vine.

"Today we're having a debate on whether to kill all the puppies. Cheryl from Barnstable, you're on the line"

'Well I think it's just horrible, why should those puppies have to die? Nobody has given a good reason'

"And Keith from Birmingham, you're next:"

'I don't think we should stop there, we should exterminate all life that I don't like, it's the right thing to do'

"Some people might disagree with those opinions, why not text us on 88291, here is whatever song we're promoting this week"
