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.

In the photograph I noticed there's water either side of the road, so I looked it up on a map and it's such a dumb fucking stretch of road. Of course the sea will take it!

Why waste money rebuilding it over and over when they could make an inland road that serves the same route?

Highlighted the road in red for visibility.

Because that's a freshwater lake on the inland side with interesting wildlife. Letting the sea in is a big call.

Hm, doesn't look much worse than some of the B roads i've driven there

Looks like a landscape from Death Stranding.
