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 wonder what the correlation is with parents putting their kids into after schools clubs due to both parents working, meaning a higher possibility of nepotism?

Like that American study showing girls who had a horse growing up were in better health later in life lol.

I feel like both parents working is more common in working class families then rich ones. A rich family may have one of the parents working part time or not at all because they can afford it.

Yeah I figured the same after pondering a bit. I just wonder if there's some other correlation other than 'it makes you better at getting a good job'.

Correlation is not causation.

Competitive children become competitive adults? Well I never!
