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.

Another incredibly frustrating thing for me is the amount of regular people adamantly against any green energy being built near them. Which basically means no where in the country.
Would these people prefer a coal plant??
That's the right wing media for you. I don't have them blocked in my newsfeed so I can see what they are up to and it is a completely different world - pretty much anything green gets hammered.
Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.
We need to start calling it blue, not green.
My reply to them is: “Would you prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, or some turbines/solar fields?”
@PixelTron@lemm.ee
@rimu@piefed.social @breadsmasher@lemmy.world I've lived next to both, and it makes no difference. Both are good neighbors. I won't live near coal power plants or oil refineries though.
