United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

Stop privatising infrastructure you maniacs.
Stop? Do you think it's continuing? They already are private ☺️.
What you should be saying is: Ask the government to raise billions to buy out private companies that own and operate the vital infrastructure of our country you maniacs!
Not being funny, but this is what you're calling for (nothing wrong with that) but what are you going to not fund whilst you spend money on this. Even Labour has pretty much said this isn't going to happen for this very reason.
Why should they assume nationalising them means paying them?
Our genius is not familiar with CPO's. Or thinks CPO's are communism. Let's find out.
No need for name calling. We're all being civil here.
CPOs as in, Compulsory Purchase Order? Do you think that applies here? Given that we're talking about more than just the land, we're talking about assets and running operations. Also ... the land owner still needs to be paid. Where is that money going to come from?
If there's another CPO you're taking about do let me know 👍.
I called you a genius, was I mistaken?
Not a genius, my friend. Just looking to have a civil conversation if you would drop the attitude please. There's absolutely no need 👌.
