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.

Apologies for editorialising the headline with brackets. The original headline was quite bad for context, lol

Northern Ireland currently has access to most of the the wider UK market and EU market customs free, and now a 10% tariff rate for exporting to the USA. Seems like our wee country might start to do very well!

Careful, if you make it sound too attractive trump might want to buy it.

Just keep convincing the Americans that we're still blowing each other up and we'll be fine
