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.
Can you imagine explaining this to people in a few decades?
'People were opposed to electric cars back in the old days.'
'Oh, that's weird. Were petrol cars cheaper?'
'Nope'.
'Were they... cleaner?'
'No, no. They made the air poisonous, actually.'
'Even for the people driving them?'
'Especially for the people driving them!'
'Oh, so petrol engines must've been more efficient.'
'Ha ha, oh God, no.'
'????'
Unlikely. Why folks choose them is pretty easy. 2 mins charge time. And no battery damage from fast charging. Unless 2065 has super capacitor like charging and fials totally to teach the history of science.
The question will be more. Why the hell did voters allow there govs not to invest the same in an electric support infrastructure. As they did in fossile fuels back in the 1950s
EAT SMOG, POORS
I already wasn't going to vote for you, no need for the hard sell.
Well thank you for another reason not to vote Tory, Mrs Badenoch. As if it needed to be made any clearer.
Big if
Selling out the people like usual.
