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.

This is sad and scary, and unfortunately very common. Be careful when you go to these big chain referral centres and when a vet asks you how high your insurance cover is

Easy, I don't have insurance. Looked at how much they cost vs pay out and decided it isn't worth it.

Okay. We had insurance for our dog and we maxed out the full 15k/year twice. Definitely was worth it

[–] Buckshot@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn't need anything expensive before June. He's has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.
