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.

The person in 6,161st place must have been gutted they didn't get 6,160th.
The person in 6,161st place eventually took a case to the Supreme Court of the UK, so....
Maybe we should ban right-wingers in sports.
"how dare transes raise money for charity!?!? only cis people (which is a slur btw!!!) should be allowed!!! a trans woman raised 5 grand for the RSPCA once and now my cat is questioning it's gender!!! coincidence?!? "
I hear there will be a new cartoon out soon about it called Gendercats.
