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.

Most people i know smoke, then vape to stop smoking and then they do both just to go back to smoking again. It's just a horrible habit all together. It's disgusting, unhealthy, cigarette litter is everywhere. In fact it's so much so everywhere that we just decided that cigarette butts isn't garbage and can be disposed literally everywhere.

I'm sorry, this must be awful for you. However we cannot base policy decisions on "most people" known by some guy, especially concerning the sensitive potential of government overreach.
