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.

They did that here too. "Politician X is a dick" required the state safety to scrub the grafitti off somehow. Oh and house searches.

I think "Where is politician Y" also triggered a sameish response. But there was a true plot to kidnap him and replace with a puppet giving orders per video.

Covid really made people crazy.

Causes a lot of brain damage unfortunately to impulse control and it will be making people angrier and less reasoned. Its not a good idea to have this virus constantly circulating and doing further and further damage to peoples cognitive function without any attempt to mitigate it at all.
