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.

Making? I think we have been for years.
I was on holiday in Spain when Johnson became PM. A Canadian preceded to take the piss.
I always liked the way BoJo was sometimes called the "Poundshop Trump".
To be fair I think that says more about the person making the joke than anything, BoJo certainly ain't no Trump.
@Oneeightnine @mackwinston
Shares enough sponsors and characteristics for the deprecatory simile to be very apt, I think. NSIT and so on. Why do you differ?
Wasn't trying to imply the person making the joke was an a** or anything, just that I think it's a lazy joke and the sort of thing I'd hear from someone who maybe doesn't pay that much attention to politics.
