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.

We have a government dumb enough that they might actually try and ban VPNs. I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy enough popcorn for this.

I have to use six different VPNs for my job, I'd love to see them try and craft a law that bands VPNs at the same time as still allowing business to take place.

Wait what type of work do you do that you need 6 VPNs?

It's pretty common.

I have six different clients at the moment that requires me to sign into six different systems each one has to have its own VPN because they're different companies. Oh and actually there's a 7th VPN if I want to do anything with my schedule because I don't work in an office
