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.

Could be worse. Could be south West Water who poisoned an entire town with sewage drinking water, laid off a bunch of staff to cover the fines and then gave their C-suites a big bonus for handling the crisis.

Water monopolies need to be broken up or nationalised if they are ever to benefit consumers.

My south west tap water either smells like sewage or a swimming pool, nowhere in between, and if I try to use a Brita filter the filter goes off within a week.
