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.

The strapline says "nostalgia" but we are in a cost-of-living crisis, the climate apocalypse is starting to kick in and there are conflicts happening that some have said resemble the precursors to WW1 and WW2.

I wondered whether it is just some recentist bias, so, being a masochist, I went through every year and came up with a "shit years" list:
Now that's part of the 20-25 year (generational) cycle of The Reckoning, so is personal to me, but that weasal fucked me up good and proper.
