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 love that we have a law called "causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse"
IMHO, many coppers should be charged with such.
The laws don't apply to the police, that's why they always park like bellends.
I think there's a reasonable excuse: it's pretty fucking funny.
'mucking about' should be a legal term imho.
Until 2022 it carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police,_Crime,_Sentencing_and_Courts_Act_2022
In their defense, a public nuisance can theoretically be very nuisant.
I'd say never change, fash island, but you really should.
