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.

No you won't, if you were the type to self crit you would have just done it instead of assuring me it'll happen. Also it is on topic and our nation is far from fine, by any definition of the word.

I don't know what that last line is supposed to mean, but your latching onto name calling suggests you're incapable of forming a coherent argument and can only argue against people being mean to you, not against their actual points.

At least we can be sure you're not lying about being from Bradford.

There is no argument, you're just a prat that likes to call people names when they surface bullshit.

I'd apologise if you could fathom what goes on with your feed but I also know masochists like this bullshit in their feed and bickering about it.

Have fun!
