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.

I'm going to miss the good old days when Ford named their cars after jazz mags.

Fiesta trivia: I once worked at a place where my company car was a Cortina estate. It got replaced by a bright yellow Fiasco. I left.

Sadly, those glory days came to an end with the rise of internet porn and the very poor sales of the Ford XHamster.

Yeah, no more finding cars under a hedge for that some considerate soul left the greater good.

You'd bring a car home and your mum would find it in the garage and ground you for a week.

This sounds like an idea for a new thread assuming it doesn't get deleted.
