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.

Given the number of elections the tories have won this term. I wouldn't at all be supprides if they win again

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If that's true. Current odds are at 11/2. So may be worth you risking a few quid. Good luck

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That one of those bet on the outcome I don't want so I get something either way deals?

Truth be told I don't know how to fill in a betting slips

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Same situ. Never actually made a bet

It did surprise me they had the same odds on hung par.iment as tory win.

1/9 for a labour win.

So please campaign they seem pretty confident in labour majority.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not the campaign type especially as I only trust Labour ever so slightly more than tory.

Besides you don't want me on your side I haven't picked a winning horse since I was 18 and that was a mistake

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not to different here.

Its not so much about trust. Its more a case of if I have to suffer a dick in my arse. I d like some variety, And a rapest who at least still thinks he should try to convince me I asked for it.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hah that's almost how I describe it.

My version is ill at least try to pick the one with the lube
