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.

FFS the problem is the price disparity between standard prices and "loyalty card" prices. It's anti-competitive.
How is that not obvious to politicians?
Which shop does that other than Tesco?
I've not been in a Waitrose or a Sainsburys in a few years but I've not seen that problem in Morrisons, Co-op, Lidl, or Aldi.
Serious question because Tesco take the piss.
You can have loyalty cards from as many shops as you want, so it's not inherently anti-competitive. They're not even particularly meant to encourage loyalty, they're a way to track what individuals buy over multiple trips and then deliver targeted advertising. The non-loyalty-card prices are high to ensure that customers are incentivised to sign away their data.
