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.

Yeah but lets face it They will use anything. Unfortunately to many (mainly right wing) brits want the UK to dump all international cooperation.

Cant really fault the young people for feeling the current govs are screwing them over long term. Maybe if more in the UK were able to sue past generations leaders. They may care.

Above said. Exxon are the corp who needs the most legal action. They literally funded and ran the science that discovered the first evidence of global warning. Then as management changed. Funded the largest fight to discredit it over decades. These guys are/were international criminals in my mind.
