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.

I have no problem with MPS being compensated for their time the problem is they've been compensated despite not doing their jobs. Don't turn up to parliament and don't have a good reason, is it because you're randomly in the US well I guess he wasn't doing your job. No payment.
Any work that MPS do in addition to their jobs as MPS has to be done entirely out of hours and cannot interfere with their duties.
Oh it used to make my blood boil to learn my MP hadn't even bothered to show up for a vote or debate. It still would but I don't keep track of it anymore. It's your godsdamned job, you over-entitled fucks. I don't give a shit if you think it's dull - you wanted it, you got it, now get your arse onto those benches and represent the interests of your constituents. If you don't want to do that, fucking resign.
...I might still be a wee bit angry about it.
