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.

I'm thinking nope, not for me. If other use it then I still avoid longer queuing but I'd rather not submit my bio identifiers to a private companies app for this.

Aren't they already with them is you have a passport since we've had e-passports for years in the UK?

[–] seacocker 2 points 1 year ago

This seems to involve an app by someone else where you have up upload your details including passport and photos.

No this is a biometric reader. Your passport holds your details which can theoretically be used by anyone. The machine will verify the individual by Facial recognition and finger prints. A full run down is on the government website.
