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.

To be clear. US firm took on 30m in debt. Plus a promise to borrow 30m more if certain goals are achieved.

So it's technically 30 to 60m and £1

Really wish id bought that £1 branded toilet paper now, I assume this buyout will probs lead to asset stripping and the company eventually vanishing.

Still have the "THIS MUG COST £1" somewhere.

I presume your irony meter exploded because you asked it to measure something that isn't in fact ironic at all?
