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.

My mortgage, which I had to pretty much sacrifice 5 years of my social life and live like a pauper to even secure, given how crazy house prices are in this country, has went up £400 per month because of her. I'm on the minimum wage of £22,300 per year for a full-time job.

A lot of the problems in my life right now are directly because of Truss.

Boo fucking hoo if she doesn't like being reminded of how much of a failure she was, is, and will forever continue to be. It's a small price to pay compared to what plenty of others are facing.

What did she do to cause that?

Tried to steamroll through new economic policy that was plain stupid, which the bank of England had to intervene on to stop peoples pensions going broke. This resulted in a huge spike in interest rates that thousands of people are still affected by today. There is much more to it, but thats the short story. Fuck this woman, she should be in prison not flogging books.
