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.

I wouldn't say having a shop front is a conflict of interest and postal agents exist as is so I only see it as removing a piece of a public utility in favour of privatisation.
Generally speaking, privatising public infrastrucure causes issues and added expense for consumers, less stable jobs and removes the benefit of the public investment.
I wasn't referring to the privatisation, you said
The labour overlap of a parcel network and a storefront are completely different.
It didnt need to be privatised, but separating the two isnt a bad thing.
