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.

Oh good they blamed video games. I was worried that we had evolved as a culture now and had stopped doing that, thankfully not.
It'll be a sad day when GTA isn't blamed for some murder. Or indeed anything at all.
Definetaly the video games, not TV or the shelves covered in brightly coloured alcopops with names directly marketed at kids.
Video games normalize drinking? Well that's a new one. Final Fight & Tekken normalized eating whole chickens out of trashcans… how long until an article blames them for homelessness?
