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.

Of course you're one of the "my ignorance is worth as much as your facts" people.

YOU don't have an opinion that you've formed yourself. You've passively ingested ultra simplistic right wing rhetoric,, because taking the time to actually understand the subject would mean you understand it and if you understood it you'd accept it because you'd know it's know what that garbage rhetoric makes it out be.

But no. You can't simply spend a few minutes on Wikipedia reading about it. You probably sat there writing that reply for 20 minutes, which you could've spent actually reading the Wikipedia article on the subject to understand why no-one agrees with "your opinion."
