United Kingdom
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.

UK just bans everything it seems lol
Your comment is 7 levels of stupid.
other than the fact that there are several things being banned in the UK lately, all in mainstream news... sure
Banning single use vapes is a good idea. There is no counterargument to this. They dont fill a gap in the market as reusable and refillable vapes already exist and work better. They produce a ridiculous amount of waste. That waste is terrible for the environment. People can't be trusted to be responsible enough to dispose of them in a safe way.
Dont try to conflate this proposed ban with something else you are pissed about.
nothing I said had anything negative about banning Vapes
The post is about banning single use vapes. You commented that the "uk is just banning everything now" so you are saying that the banning of single use vapes is linked to the banning of all these other things.
So my defending of the single use vape ban is to show that it is in no way linked to any other bans apparently taking place in the uk. So your suggestion that the uk "just bans things" is not relevant and unsubstantiated.
