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.

Shields also, in public. Would be pretty funny.

Even on my best days I'm having trouble trusting the average person to competently walk and breathe at the same time. To think those same people could responsibly carry around an implement of murder - let alone wield it - is a mighty tall order.

Yes. Exactly like a car. That often doesn't work out too well either.

Carry one yourself. And a shield.

Problem is: Those people I don't trust with a sword? I'm one of them.
