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 UK wastes most of its graduate talent, much of it ends up in jobs other than what the degree is directly in. Despite quite a lot of great Computer Science and Engineering universities most of the reasonable paid jobs have historically been in finance. As inequality gets worse and worse the Uk is becoming a county of serfs and lords once again with a poor populace and very rich owners. Its what people keep voting for so its what they want but it confuses me everytime people vote to be lorded over.

ARM: Powering 95% of smartphones globally.

Physical presence matters - can't build rockets remotely

ARM -- a fabless design company -- doesn't seem like a very good example to be using if the argument is "manufacturing and design need to be physically colocated".

It read well until "Forget software. Hardware is the new frontier."

Build empires, not apps.

Why?
