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.

Well it's helpful that the income that the government gets from the royal family's estate is increasing by around 400% then I guess, even if it may only help cover a tiny fraction of the real terms cuts?
You are entirely right but it won't matter to state it here. Despite the current parlous state of the UK economy having nothing to do with the monarchy, plenty are outraged by the institution regardless, even if it is a large net contributor to the economy (yes, despite the rebuttal video linked in similar threads).
There is a lot of anger towards the royals and Lemmy seems particularly irate.
