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.

I don’t see it being particularly beneficial or making any difference. With a couple teenagers in my house the discussion has come up more than once about their peers’ behavior.

The saying the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” is essentially true.

The kids that are racist assholes are racist assholes because their parents are racist assholes. So they’ll vote the same way. The vast majority don’t care or will vote how tiktok tells them - which is probably how plenty of adults do it - and the kids who come from families that actually give a shit about communities and education will probably vote liberal.

So there might be more voters, but IMO the percentages will remain the same.
