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.

Interesting that the US already has this requirement

Must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the U.S.

Kinda makes sense to me. I don't understand the issue this brings up. If you're a dual national and want to enter the UK (or the US as in the above example) carry your UK (or US) passport. Otherwise if you don't want to then pay a large unnecessary sum of money for a shitty stamp.

I don't get the outrage here. It's not hard to carry a passport ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. What am I missing?
