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.

Campaigners have called the British Museum “astonishingly out of touch” after it announced a 10-year £50m partnership with BP to help fund one of the biggest redevelopments in its history.

On Tuesday the museum announced the energy company would be helping to fund its ambitious “masterplan” project, a redevelopment estimated to cost £1bn.

Not at all surprising, those are the criminals who hold on to artifacts and national treasures stolen during colonial times from all over the world and still refuse to give them back. Working with a fossil corporation perfectly fits the picture.
