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.

Gdamn. This kind of thing is a different kind of sad.
It is, but if you don't own your own property then you are are the behest of someone else. We really need a national scheme where people rent to buy to stop this sort of thing happening. Houses are not being built to meet the rise in the population. This will be a story repeated manyfold under our current systems.
We need so much more social housing. The fact that someone vulnerable is unable to be housed in social housing in the area speaks to how much of a shortage there is. I would have thought in terms of banding he would be right up there.
