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.

Feeding the prison industrial complex

Prison industrial complex... in the UK? Where we don't utilise prison Labour, and prison spaces are highly unprofitable?

Schism is highly valuable to societies organized on eternal growth, and the failure of keeping the masses divorced from understanding profit, abundance, and value as more than actual money is highly profitable to those societies. Although in indirect ways, these things are indeed monitarily profitable.

Something about the cost of everything and value of nothing.
