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.

No, because that's people forcing their dumbass fanclub into public spaces. I'd take issue the same way with people putting football flags everywhere
The public space is in that fanclub though, the fanclub being the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Should all public spaces just be bland concrete squares to just not force any kind of heritage on anybody?
I resent that. If you're into flags and kings or whatever that's your business, I don't see why I should be inundated with it in the places I go to shop and work.
Because you live and work in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is a Kingdom with a King and the flag is the Union Flag. If you are a citizen, you are a subject of His Majesty The King.
His majesty the king can go get a real job and stop living off of my taxes as far as I'm concerned
They're not your taxes, they're his taxes.
Also he mainly lives off of a portion of the income from his own estate, which most of which goes back into the treasury anyway
Right yeah which he's earned from the critical service of sitting on his pampered arse signing things
In him lies all of the power. He is our head of state. He is a vital instrument. Our country literally cannot function without him.
