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.

slot/fruit machine-style games, found in places such as betting shops, adult gaming centres and casinos – generate an average of £35,000 in gross gambling yield per machine each year – more than the roughly £26,400 a year earned by someone aged 21 or over working 40 hours a week on the national living wage.

Fucking hell. Maybe I should make 3 little cardboard spinny wheels and some flashy lights with a coin slot to make some extra dough...
