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.
Just hypothetically, because obviously this wont be happening, but where would they go?
"Could free up to 230,000 homes". That'll be about a million people including children suddenly with no home. Thats going to help how?
Andy Burnham: "I want to try to end rough sleeping"
The Tories: "Did you hear that? Labour wants to end homelessness so we need to the opposite! Let's vow to make 230,000 MORE households homeless"
This is the fucking world we live in
SLAM
The Tories are spectacularly incompetent, reform have peaked, and done so at a vote share that would not win them the next GE (can't say I'm particularly surprised you can only get so far with personality-cult politics), and the Tories are still chasing them.
Nobody is on board with any of their idiot ideas lately, there was a huge pushback for their anti-green policies which goes to show how completely out of touch they are.
I hope you're right
The Tories are again in panic mode just like David Cameron panicked in 2016. They have restarted their race to the bottom thinking their popularity can be increased by being the Nasty Party again.
