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.

The UK truly is a special place. Greetings from the mainland.

People are being urged not to buy the feline equivalent of XL bully dogs, which have been created by breeders in the US.

Maybe they originated in the US, but I don't recall reading about an XL Bully mauling someone in Europe, other than numerous reports from England. The fact that this type of cat is becoming popular, just because it resembles their hideous canine cousins, is pretty telling.
