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.

The business secretary has defended Labour’s plans to introduce new flexible working laws, calling it “bizarre” that Jacob Rees-Mogg had launched a “war on people working from home”.

Simple, Mogg had his tongue in the rectum of big business.

Guy would have us all put back in Victorian era workhouses if he got his way. He's a ghoul.

He wouldn't survive in the Victorian era though. In the Victorian era there were certain things expected of a gentleman and part of that was being at least corneal to the lower classes, and in some cases actually philanthropic towards them. There's no way in hell he could pull that off.

He's just as thick and uncouth as Anderson, except he covers that up with a veneer of class.

A few years ago I made them write into my contract that I was permanently work from home which they happily did because at the time everyone was permanently worked from home anyway.

However everyone else has to erroneously go in 2 days a week. If you can do your job remotely 3 days a week you can do it remotely 5 days a week. Going in is utterly redundant. The pathetic justification provided is that communication is easier in person. However I find that my the lazy co-workers are just as useless in the office, And the good ones are just as good, so I'm not sure that's true.

Jacob Rees-Mogg IS bizarre.
