United Kingdom
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.

England is very strongly positioned on the right of the political spectrum. This still seems to surprise people. Brexit, Farage, Reform and Boris Johnson have/had majority support. England is very deeply conservative to the point that the Conservative party isn't even enough for them. Anyone who is surprised by this is basically willfully ignoring news.
Click on the map in that petition. England (outside London) and Wales are deeply red. London, Scotland and Ireland are quite light.
Asylum seekers are a subset of all migrants, but they're all considered "bloody foreigners".
