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.

There will be a flat 20p deposit on all eligible plastic and metal drinks containers. These deposits can be retrieved by returning containers to collection points at supermarkets.

The Welsh government want this to be devolved to them: https://exchangeforchange.co.uk/news/welsh-government-decision-on-exchange-for-changes-dmo-application/

So if I understand this scheme right, a standard 6 pack of cans are going to cost £1.20 more and I am going to have to collect them and store them separately to the other 4 separated rubbish categories I already have.

Then lug them all to a collection point to get the deposit back instead of placing them in my recycling that I already pay the council to collect every (other) week anyway.

Great, just great, how convenient.
