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.

This bullshit has got to die, and shame on the Guardian for uncritically publishing it. The choice isn't between cutting welfare or watching it die. It's between taxing the rich or not.
The problem here is that they've already made that choice and are pretending that now we only have two choices, both of which amount to "screw the poor". There are massive amounts of wealth in this country and it's all going into the pockets of the rich and into bombs.
So let's do away with this "we have to cut or lose everything" lie already.
FFS this country needs a socialist party.
