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.

This might be unpopular, but I don't hate it
Why would it be unpopular? The govt is nationalising the railways
It's even got the old logo on there
Flag shagging isn’t so popular here
Oh fuck off. It's the state's fucking train company
And that would fly if it were american or dare I say it F**nch.
This literally flies, you have a problem with that too?
A bit disingenuous aren’t you? Thats literally a flag-carrier airline that is seen all over the world, not just in Britain. And as they’re spanish now it’s a bit weird yes.
A bit obtuse aren't you? It was the state owned airline. As was British Rail.
It's got red white and blue on it.
It had been privatised 14 years before this livery. Again, an airliner will be seen all over the world in a context of plurality of nationality. Not so our proud nationalist trains.
So you'd rather they did what exactly?
The Swiss do it. I really don't see your point. We literally invented passenger trains ffs
Edit. The Irish also do it
