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.

There is no way the government pull the plug at this stage. The only course is to shake that magic money tree and get it done at any cost. As usual.
To get things back on track (heh, on track, see what I did there?), I anticipate some especially juicy contracts going to newly forged 'construction' companies set up by Tory donors.
That’s the problem with estimating the cost of these projects, they never really take into account all the corruption and backhanders.
Well it would be a bit sus but yeah at this point estimator should be done a few line items for corruption maybe at least we can start tracking it properly.
They will cancel the bit to crewe and the East Midlands and Euston and call a train line from hounslow.to Birmingham as hs2 deliverd missing out on all the vital capacity upgrade to wcml, midland line and eastern that it would actually help.with
