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.

The story at that link is about 1 month old, but someone posted about this mural on Reddit yesterday.

That’s where London is traditionally found.

I don't want to mass respond to all the replies but what I meant was:

  • The UK healthcare system is not as predatory as the US one
  • This is a crime (arguable justifiable) which has taken place in another country
  • We shouldn't transpose politics from other countries onto our own where they don't fit. A lot of the moral intricacies of this case are idiosyncratic to USA's crazy system.

Edit: missed the word "not" from my first point
