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.

Most motorists? Why is it only people who enjoy motoring that get a say in this? What about the rest of us?

I don't drive and I want them to crack down on those loud as feck vehicles, especially the dirt bike races they have regularly.

Loud as feckin hell.

I think the point is to show that even amongst their peers, people who love loud pipes are a minority that the majority would gladly see being stopped.

I agree now but I once was young and had a loud pipe on my truck and on my motorcycle (always with a catalytic converter though!), I think it's just a natural phase in the car person's evolution... Then you've got a bunch of Harley riders and Dodge Ram drivers that never grow past that phase...

I think they were assuming that ~100% of non-motorists agreed

British people are insane. Why are you willingly asking for more government intervention in your daily lives for such a minor annoyance. Y'all do realize they will eventually be caught using this to spy on people.

⚠ That article is a bit enshitified and autoplays video. Just a warning to anyone on a limited internet connection.

Fuck this. Freedom has costs, a few seconds of noise ain't a big deal

Keep your noise to yourself dipshit. Get a life beyond your motor vehicle and stop inflicting your bullshit on the populace you inconsiderate garbage.

What are your hobbies so we can call you a cunt for having them?

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

yeah go ahead and jump to conclusions... just because I support people's rights to make their own decisions about what they own and what they do doesnt mean I do those things myself
