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.

Because its so much better for kids to use dodgy free VPNs to access sketchy fringe porn sites than to just talk to them about healthy sex at a younger age.

The internet providers are going to have to raise their prices since they can't spy on your activity and sell the data on anymore.

We need to cut the UK off from all global trade and communication. A total global naval blockade. We can make it a joint exercise between the US, China, and anyone else that wants to come along. Same thing with the internet. Cut off all lines of international communication. The people of the UK are infected, and the whole island needs to be quarantined like in 28 Days Later. Worse still, the UK's pestilence of censorship and transphobia threatens to infect many other countries. For the good of the world, we need to metaphorically, and perhaps even literally, wall off the entire UK from the rest of the world. Or possibly just England. That's where the real pus and boils seem to be. We need to cut England off from all global communication before anyone else gets the idea to try this crap. Hell, maybe we just need to go all in and bomb English power infrastructure. The English clearly can't be trusted with electricity. Let them go back to heating London homes via coal furnaces in every building. Maybe we just need to lower England a few rungs back down the tech tree. The English are just not responsible enough to be trusted with modern technology.
