United Kingdom
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 what "cutting red tape", "smarter regulation" and "taking back control" means.
It does when you follow US capitalist policy. Unlike many places in the Europe, we (the USA) never suffered the direct horrors of war, in the homeland, so many places in Europe developed robust public safety and health policies. It grieves me deeply to see that people are forgetting what true national wealth and treasure is, and are allowing it to be eroded, to appease the US. Imo, rather than bowing to horrible US policy in the face of pressure, the whole world, including us, would be better for Europe standing up to us and pressuring us into better policy. I'm not casting blame, we are humans and capitalists are capitalists. I just see a better world, in my dreams.
