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.

Never heard of them, 52years of first hand experience as a homegrown Brit.
Have you considered following the news and learning about the country despite not being required to take a citizenship test? Yet! 😉
More seriously, do you often read the Morning Star? I suspect their readers will know who Republic are.
Not in the slightest. News occurs to me naturally via diverse sources, I don’t go looking for news about republic campaigning groups, and clearly succeeded in never finding any. Except this reference today. Which I’m emotionless about to be fair. Andrew is a disgrace though, I don’t disagree that he should be dragged through the same shit a commoner would if found noncing
Broadly agree. An ordinary nonce probably won't get accused of misusing the police, though.
