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.

So true the amount of people that don't get this.

I get it, I just also understand humans are destroying our only environment. Were driving the fifth ever mass extinction of life on Earth.

We literally can't keep living the way we are.

Yeah, 100% agree. This is entirely driven by selfishness and avarice.

They'll also fund all infrastructure in the future, produce all goods and staff the nursing homes where these egotistical assholes will end up.

I'd rather have a functioning ecosystem and mitigated climate change.
