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.

I have to say this reads a bit like:
"I barely earn more than four normal households' worth of income - and now the government is expecting me to pay for my own children! It's a scandal!"
I can guarantee if this is posted to reddit it will be reply after reply of people going "what you don't understand is, £100,000 is the hardest wage to live on!".
Ok then mate, swapsies. You can have my 28k and we'll find out.
Yeah, and joined with a few:
"You don't understand, I was offered some more paid hours at work, but with the extra taxes at that income threshold, I'd only be working for £35 an hour, which is probably below minimum wage, as far as I'm aware. My life is so hard".
Narrator: The minimum wage was actually £12.21 for people over 21 years of age.
