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.

Shat on by Tories, shovelled up by Labour.

Possibly off topic, but doesn't it seem to be an interesting choice to hold a British election on July 4th?

Who do we actually vote for now. We got genocide supporting tories or genocide supporting Tory light in labour.

But it seems if we don’t vote for labour we are helping the tories. Like this isn’t a democracy man.

Edit: Appreciate the downvotes and no comments to justify them.

This is an unpopular opinion, but vote for who you believe in. If there is a party or candidate that backs your beliefs then you should vote for them. You only need to look at UKIP/Brexit/Reform to see that a small party can have a big impact, even if it's backed by the media and run by bellends.

Wanting your vote to count by voting for a big party is like supporting Man City because you want your support to count...
