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.

What he needs is a tiny little asterisk with a note saying: By Europe we actually only mean EU member states and not any other country geographically located in Europe but outside the EU, like Switzerland.

You know, for the people that don't understand how geography works.

I agree with this. I would think most people would see made in Europe they would assume made in EU member states. I could be giving most people too much credit though. idk I overthink and complicate things sometimes, I guess it really doesnt matter, why not just say made in germany or whatever because you dont have tags that say made in asia or at least I've never seen one.
