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.

Given the overpopulation of the world, it’s my personal opinion that there are better uses for our dwindling medical resources and time.
I have to say I agree, same goes on IVF.
If there were infinite resources to spend, then sure, go for it, do everything, however that has never been the case and I'd sooner prioritise people who are actually already existing over creating more humans we don't need. Would be parents moaning on about it don't really sway me either, you can't have a kid, so what? Get over it and be a foster parent if you want it that badly.
Exactly. There are so many people and kids already here who need help and support.
And it’s not like we’re in an apocalyptic scenario where no one can have children.
Western countries aren’t having as many children - is this the issue for people/racists?
The cute nuclear family can’t have kids and are sad about it so obviously their feelings are more important than the lives of other people so our resources should definitely be allocated there /s
