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.

People discard these things on the floor.... wtf... what amount of brain cells must you be lacking to think thats fine? How fucking numb must your mind be to not even consider that the vape cant just be chucked to the ground when finished?
Where i work theres an unofficial smoking area and its littered with single use vapes. Fuck putting them ina bin like the article says people do.
And wtf 1% flush them down the toilet?
So many people are just so fucking stupid it destroys all hope i have for humanity.
I know im being dramatic but it is seriously soul destroying.
Just stop and think for 1 fucking second.
I really can understand the frustration.
Always thought the same about people throwing away their cigarette buds. These are probably the same people.
Many people are inconsiderate, stupid, apathetic and have ego problems where they believe they are more entitled than others. Add in to the mix a lack of general accountability, and shitty people will prove again and again how shitty they really are. The only way you can stop this is by banning/regulation or an actual functioning justice system. Here, banning is obviously the best idea. But, given how greedy people are and the fact our iteration of capitalism has near no accountability, you can bet such inhumane people running these corps won't make decisions out of the best interest of others/the environment. It's just depressing to realise how shit so many people can be.
What amount of braincells must they be leaving to vape in the first place
What amount of braincells must they be leaving to vape instead of ingesting over 600 poisonous chemicals by smoking real cigarettes
So it's just one or the other then? Give yourself and others the credit of more agency than that howay
Enough to know smoking was stupid and are trying to stop by using vapes instead
Not always, there's loads of young ones that start on vapes now. I have no gripes with those that use it as a way to reduce their addiction.
