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.

"prime ministers and other legislators, in the 45 years since Wetherspoon started trading, have been dinner party goers, rather than pub goers" yeah, ok, timmy, that's always been the case since forever. truth of the matter is timbo, shit is too expensive nowadays, it's cheaper (and healthier) to prepare food at home, and people have finally figured out alcohol is bad for them in anything but strict moderation. the worm has turned timbot, you're gonna need a different business model than selling ~~overpriced~~ pints.
There’s many, many, criticisms of Whetherspoons but “over priced” is not one of them
Overpriced shit perfectly describes wetherspoons though.
Cheap it may be but I wouldn't feed it to my dog
The food is one thing but the drinks are all good, and great prices. They have guest ales from local-area breweries too, rather than only having nationally available stuff.
So I honestly can't complain about the drink.
You pay for what you get with the food.
I don't go into spoons much, but I remember the drinks being reasonably priced.
