United Kingdom
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 don't want tax cuts, we want things to work properly again.
You don't but the rich sure do - moaning about taxes is their favourite past time.
I sure do want tax cuts, not a fan of subsidising Rishi's chopper and other ventures. If I can't get proper services from the NHS, then what's the point of feeding our aristocracy? Fuck taxes!
You don't have an issue with taxes, you have an issue with how they're spending them.
Yes. But while we have the current government I don't want to pay taxes.
Yeah, I kind of get what you mean. It's frustrating to see tax money wasted on pointless right-wing-wank-fantasies and bungs of money to their friends' companies, but if they talk about cutting welfare to cut taxes, they're not going to touch landlord benefit, offshore tax benefit, house of lords benefit, too-many-houses benefit etc.
If I end up paying less money to these twats, it's a win for me.
It is fun to pay so much tax and productivity into a country/society that gives you so many middle fingers in return.
