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.

I do most of my social hangouts at pubs

Ah so the type of place where you hang out is the type of place that "should" be preserved. Now I understand why you think that.

to say that historically it has not been the social centre of UK towns is false

I haven't said that.

obv don't go to a pub and take up space without giving them any money

LOL you think you can give me advice

Me? I didn't even make the original comment. On one hand you dismiss the historical status of pubs as community places by isolating me enjoying it as an individually me thing (I guess I'm single handedly keeping all the pubs in the UK in business; also nice job cutting out me saying I'm seeing a lot of younger people at pubs too to make your argument sound better), then you say you are not doing that exact thing? Make it make sense, without the preachy "ah I've read you like a book" attitude.

Also, rude. I think we're done here, not sure what got your ego all hurt but we were just having a discussion here.

Firstly, I haven't done that. Secondly, this doesn't make sense. It's a non sequitur.
