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 think you're more likely to have your phone nicked in Barcelona. Anyway, yeah, phones being nicked in London may be true, but there's huge swathes of the UK that aren't London - entire counties with not even a shred of London in them.
Walking to school is safer and less polluted than it was 30 or 40 years ago. When I went, being driven to or from school was reserved for a couple of posh kids and a couple of kids who lived too far "in the sticks". The school itself ran buses to the nearby towns that had kids at the school. Pretty much everyone in the same town as the school walked or got a local bus.
