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.

Based.
Should've been done years ago.
Yeah there’s only really benefits to this.
I, too, love the idea of kids getting sketchy ass vapes from weird ass dealers in alleyways. Nothing but benefits tbh
Disposable vapes are already sketchy...
And what kind of logic is this? Should children be able to buy alcohol on the basis that if they don't get served in pubs/shops they could theoretically instead be sold moonshine in an alleyway?
Yes. That's how we do it in Germany, because we know they would otherwise just steal alcohol from stores or get an adult to buy it for them, like is the case in the US
No, it's not how you do it in Germany...
Germany has restrictions on kids buying alcohol too:
- Jugendschutzgesetz (Protection of Young Persons Act)
Where is this massive black market for moonshine?
You literally have absolutely no point at all do you
