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.

And yet in Notts I've now been seeing police on the tram stops with like 10 tram staff making sure people are paying their 2 quid for a tram ticket. I really don't understand why the police really care about a 2 quid tram ticket but won't look for a stolen bike that cost 700 quid.

Most people probably think what's the point. Policing like everything has been cut to the bone and when all you get is a crime reference number and an email saying the case is dropped in the same week it's pretty evident that line of support is gone.
