United Kingdom
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.

Is it the ones privately educated that have the vice grip or is it that the ones that have the vice grip on the powerful UK jobs send their kids to private schools?
Nepotism is real everywhere. And let's not forget what a monarchy is.
It's both. The networking with kids from private school and their parents is probably more valuable than the education that they receive.
The sales pitch for private education. Is the connections and networking it provides.
So while both are clearly true. It is very much a refusal to look beyond such educational connections. That reinforces the strong grip on power.
