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’ve been hearing building homes in the UK isn’t held back so much by regulation but by developers sitting on already approved land speculating with it rather than building on it.
I think it's both. For example if you personally bought a piece of agricultural land and applied for planning to build a home on it yourself, you'd almost certainly be rejected.
Despite what you might hear there is still plenty of space though: Buildings cover less of Britain than the land revealed when the tide goes out.
People just don't want any of you to have somewhere to live on it.
