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.

Your link doesn't say anything about millions of people abusing the system. Did you even read it yourself?
I mean, I know you neither read it, nor have any evidence. You feel that millions of people are abusing the system because you consume propaganda telling you so. But don't you ever stop and think for one second "why hasn't anyone been able to actually prove it"? Why do you believe things based on what you feel is true, instead of trying to base your opinions on facts?
And this doesn't stop with yourself. You're so sure of millions abusing the system that you say even other people know you're right, they're just acting as if you aren't - all the while you haven't seen or shown any evidence for you being correct. But you feel it, so it must be true.
You are always free to show me evidence that they aren't! That would change my mind immediately. Funny how that works, huh? But you know you are lying, so you know there is no evidence, so you say "there is nothing I can do that would change your mind".
The funny thing is that in pretty much every country there are people saying exactly what you are saying ("our country is worse in this compared to others"). And none I've ever talked to have shown evidence for their claims, they always say "we all know it's true".
But this discussion has run its course. As always, there is no evidence, no facts, no data - only feelings and beliefs.
