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.

They keep making these big deals with tech companies saying they'll add more money to the economy despite these businesses like Google being nothing but extractive and pulling money out of the markets they operate in and putting it into the hands of the tech-bros while simultaneously eroding the basic freedoms and qualities of living in the UK.

Google paid just £50M in tax last year on £1.8B an effective tax rate of 0.28%.

Stop sucking the genitalia of big tech companies, they're literally the worst.
