General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

It just strikes me as yet another fuck you to the poorer people. They don't get to go on holiday, but the wealthier do.
Look at prices during the school summer holidays - it is usually 2-4x higher. Poorer families can't afford that. I think it's beneficial for families to be able to occasionally have some respite from work/school, and do things they wouldn't usually do.
The least they could do is stagger the school holidays so that you don't have 90% of the UK taking them all at once.
There's an unbelievable amount of class warfare in this country.
