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.

That will depend on there being railway stations in Germany with spare platforms that can be walled off and space for UK immigration/customs facilities. If I recall correctly, the ones close enough to be within a competitively short journey from the UK (Cologne, Frankfurt and such) don’t have this kind of space, and the nearest ones that could be used are inconveniently far away.
The other option is to march everyone off the train at Calais and do immigration there, but that would add an extra hour or two to the journey, along with considerable annoyance.
I wish the checks could just be done on the train, I'm not sure what the issue with it is.
