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.

Personally, I’m optimistic that things will get worse at a slower rate.

You've just been made very pessimistic by 14 years of Tory government

Isnt getting worse at a slow rate better than getting worse at a fast rate?

Using the roman numeral system, I’d say we’re currently at an I-rate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that’s what I’m optimistic for.
