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.

I genuinely don’t understand how the right wing have managed to pull this off. What a horrible outcome.

It hasn’t come up yet, but if I see anyone telling someone not to use a particular bathroom for any reason I will be standing up to them.

They’ve inflated the issue with constant media attention, and the government jumps on it as it’s better than tackling the actual issues people are facing of which the government supports.

Lots and lots of money.

JKR is a huge part of it, the terfs managed to bag a whale and then use her for every penny she's got
