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.

Yeah this is absolutely needed… I grew up in Devon and remember when the bus services were privatised and taken away from the council… For about six months the prices dropped as two different companies competed, then one company won the other company folded and suddenly it was a monopoly… Prices tripled overnight and then over the next few years the number of services declined to the point where it was impossible to live in the village that I did and commute to work by bus
Yeah the change of law is a start.
But the councils will need money to invest in replacibg lost services.
Currently the political clkmate limits that.
IE the gov dose t have the courage to force the inveatment.
