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.

Are abandoned houses unoccupied?
It is a deflection.
To be clear now, they're now relevant enough to know how many in each category?
Let's just give this the sniff test:
Ok, you dismissed abandoned houses as irrelevant because you didn't know how many there are
You think these ones are relevant because you did know how many there were?
Can you see why it's a deflection? It doesn't matter to your position how many there are. You, at the time, didn't know how many there were of any of them, but you made a distinction anyway.
700k houses isn't a large % of UK housing stock.
Oh gosh, you're back. More deflection from you I'm afraid.
Once again, how many times now?
Are abandoned houses unoccupied?
Answer that and we'll zip back up to where I originally asked the question, and we can put your whole song and dance behind us.
What? You've never asked that question. I asked you how many there were. You've got a big list and no numbers. Do better.

Incorrect. I asked you that question from the link comment onwards.
Obviously an abandoned house is empty. Is it habitable though?
