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.

We're constantly told that the country is broke, taxes will need to go up, old ladies will need to freeze, the disabled don't deserve what few benefits they get... but we've got 1.8B to spend on a scheme that will eventually balloon to 4B+ so that hackers and fraudsters can get access to every piece of information about everyone all in one place, just so we can be spied on even more than we already are.

Fuck Reeves.

Fuck Starmer.

Fuck Labour, and anyone that voted for those cunts.

hackers and fraudsters …

How would you know that?

Because no system is perfectly secure. It only takes one foolish mistake by someone with global access to the data, and it's leaked forever, and they have forever to keep trying.
