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'm especially bothered with the realization of how little regard many of our fellow citizens actually have for others health and well-being. I don't know how eager i am to return to a society that can't even agree on diseases being a bad thing.

Totally agree about the empty gestures too, which really stood as a reminder of how little respect healthcare workers (and don't forget funeral directors and morticians!) actually get especially considering how much they risk for everyone else's sake
