United Kingdom
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.

Only interested if the gov takes on all the debt.
So likely just going to sell off more assets and gain any wealth the can before letting it fail again.
Selling off to private investors is just moving the issue to another government while making tax payers pay for past bad behaviours.
And forgive the outstanding fines.
So we're paying a private company to buy our water utility, so that they can 'have another go' and 'promise to do better than the last lot'.
Great..
