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.

“It’s important that we remember we have some of the best military in the world here in the UK and he was a trained soldier.

Everybody shut up, let's plug some nationalism in there.

That thumbnail makes it look he's wearing lipstick.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm not sure how this even happened, I always thought they would thoroughly check vehicles leaving prisons for errant prisoners.

Can we not go a week without some sort of scandal in our prison system?
