United Kingdom
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.

Don't worry, I'm sure the privatisation will bring costs down... any minute now. Vince Cable says so.
I'm sure their core of "high quality investors" will be along to sort it out any minute now, won't they Mr Cable? You lying sack of shit.
But just think what the UK would have been like if Thatcher and those "Winston Churchill"-sprited neo liberals hadn't privatised everything: a perpetual cost of living crisis, low wages, high mortgages and rents, housing shortages, sky-high energy costs, hosepipe bans, sewage pumped into our rivers and seas, declining welfare services, town centres boarded up... oh... maybe not then...
