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.

The labor government is a shit show, and they've done more damage than the tories did already. Outlawing protest, disallowing defenses against those charges, (often like decades in prison for disfavored protests, environmental and israel and climate now but everything else soon enough,) politicians proscribing protest groups as terrorists themselves, associating any protest of that same issue as support of the proscribed group. The masterbaitorbase and age checks.
The last the most pernicious perhaps. In effect it is them surrendering their populations to tech for a cut of the feed, identifying everyone to their accounts and everything they do, and allowing palantir companies to make social scores on their half baked formulas to be secretly used against everyones.
I am forgetting some stuff too. But the UK is perhaps more fucked than the US, it's in our face, they somehow think they are winning because it's "their" guys in there right now.
There has to be something in the water or food making us compliant, some ubiquitous pollutant(s,) some 1984 type shit.
Saying Labour is worse than the Tories is utter madness.
The magna carta got cancelled and you support it because it is "your" team.
