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.

Speak for yourself. The climate's a bit fucked in case you hadn't noticed. Each year now I wonder: is this the year we face the first famine? (Of the many to come, until most of us are dead?)
When I was young (a very long time ago), the UK was very much associated with rain. If you'd ask any non British person what they think about when they hear about the UK, the answer would have been tea, polite people and rain. I guess at least the first one still holds true.
They are speaking for themselves.
The UK is known for rain, so it's unexpected to see the UK missing rain.
Like, you objected to.. ^ that. Confusing.

Off-topic starts here. There is no need to be hostile at a benign comment as there are plenty of dumb people who have earned that hostility.
How you reply to other comments will let me know which you are, given this comment it's not looking great.. but I have hope it's a one-off ill moment.
Re-reading your comment, I think you may be letting your anxiety get to you. Calm down, take deep breaths, then close your eyes. Breath and count the passing breaths, focusing on the rising and falling of the body. If a thought comes, let it pass, focus back on the breath.
Your anxiety may be justified, but I believe that your aim is off, don't let it shoot random bystanders on your side. Better yet, become aware of it through meditation and mindfulness. Wish you well.

Had been known for rain. Until recently. When the climate started shitting on the status quo.
