United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

As long as people think it's too cold in the UK for them to work or that you need to insulate your house to a level that'll make you drown in black mould, I don't have much hope
'You'll need new radiators, and ideally more insulation'
"Utterly unworkable, now fit me a new gas boiler"
(Imo, the thing really holding ashps back is the costs. Companies treating installation like a dark art, and using the government grants to print money)
We also have an issue that much of our housing stock is really old and actually relies on leaks for propper air circulation, properly insulating these houses leads to damp and mold problems as OP mentioned. Huge swaths of housing in the UK are just fundementally unfit for purpose.
You just need to fit a few treacle extractor vents. Takes sometime with the right tools a few minutes to do.
