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.

The U.K. really does seem to be going down the drain.

We moved back to the U.K. last year, after 5 years living abroad and it was shocking just how much worse things are than before we left, in many many ways.

A declining nation, still putting on a brave face of over-confidence about its place in the world, citing long-past glories (but don't you dare get all woke saying that the empire was built on enslaving people to plunder their own resources.)
