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.

No worries mate. Yeah I understand that things are even harder in our punitive benefits system - and across much of society - for ppl with 'invisible' disabilities. As a taxpayer, albeit lowest level, I'm fuckin infuriated that more of my contribution isn't spent on helping the people who need help. The disabled, the elderly, the NHS. Any society that doesn't make looking after its vulnerable members priority number one has taken a wrong turn. At least IMO.
Anyway, sorry if I offended you and best of luck in navigating the system to get the support you need. I'm just sorry it can be such a nightmare for people in your position. It really shouldn't be. If you're having issues with the system, there are organisations that can help. I hope you won't hesitate to reach out to them if you have trouble. Take care eh
Thanks, fellow poor. It's rough out here, but at least I'm not living in the car anymore (so far), and the way forward is mostly about avoiding the dragnet of "abnormal" people into camps, instead of that plus the constant risk of bacon takin' my possessions & shooting my ESA. πΆβπ«οΈ Small victories. π€πΌ
