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.

When they tell you a number is so you go "HOW MUCH? WOW" when they should be telling you the number as a percentage of profits.
0.5% of yearly profits doesn't sound as big does it? I mean I've made that number up, but the point stands.
It says in the article the proposed fine for Thames is 9%, but doesn't mention Northumbria or Yorkshire.
...can you tell I didn't read it? Thanks for that. 9% is fuck all really innit?
Aye still a joke, especially when they're wanting to charge us more, government should force the bosses to give back their bonuses but that's never gonna happen.
