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.

Sadly I think more young people low 20s are turning more right wing thanks to their immersion in internet culture influenced by right wing think tanks and Russia.

In our office it is the millennials and Gen X that are left and the apprentices (18-25) spout incel, conspiracy theory and trump type policies they get online from USA. The most right wing Brexit was rights, drown the immigrants in the channel, what's the NHS ever done for me, are that cohort.
