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.

How many people still use cash? I doubt I’ll ever physically touch one of the King Charles notes or coins.
Need one for the shopping trolley :) And my barber - and the local kebab shop.
These designs are absolutely beautiful, though
I use cash pretty much everyday. I purposely do so over contactless. Cash is freedom. Cash is anonymous. Cash is king. Don't give up on it or you'll be sorry when it's gone.
On topic, I love the new coins.
You'd be surprised. Car wash, barbers, boot sales, market stalls, charity collections, church collections, anywhere that the network or card machine is broken, village fetes, school fetes, church fates, collection boxes, people that have lost their phone or bank card.
More than you'd think to be fair. Lots of older people still rely on it, and homeless people might not necessarily have a bank account or a working debit card to use at a checkout.
Only for taxis where I am. So I may end up with a handful of them as change eventually.
You need it for public transport in Northern Ireland still :(
