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 think of the children phase the government has got going in is just making everything more shit.. Don’t ruin everything just because some people can’t control themselves.

just because some people can't control themselves

That's kinda the whole point of laws, exactly because people can't control themselves, drugs and all kinds of things are illegal, and it costs a shit ton of tax payers money (everyone pays) to heal or rehabilitate those people when they do destroy their bodies and minds or worse.

This is literally to everyone's benefit.

Drugs should be legal.

If we want to encourage people to be healthy we should be making leisure centres free and make sure people have enough time to use them.

As usual this is just a sticking plaster policy on the real causes of why people eat shit or take drugs.
