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.

Wish poll days were bank holidays, gotta dodge politics at work all day thank god for the unifying presence that is Count Binface
As a French I only learned recently from a Londoner coworker how you call your national days off.
“Bank holidays”
Why?
Anyway, good luck from the bottom of my heart.
Same in India. Wonder where we got it from...
Bank holidays are when banks are closed for business.
There are other holidays when schools or some other establishments might be closed but banks are open.
Well, sometimes I wonder why half of Africa speaks French… so I get your point. Sorry for that…
Are they still called bank holidays or do they have another name?
No, they're just holidays. Hence the distinction between those and 'bank holidays'.
