United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

Wish poll days were bank holidays, gotta dodge politics at work all day thank god for the unifying presence that is Count Binface
As a French I only learned recently from a Londoner coworker how you call your national days off.
“Bank holidays”
Why?
Anyway, good luck from the bottom of my heart.
As the name would imply, the banks had to legally close. It took over pretty much every singular holiday like may day for example
I understand, but I’m kind of stuck by what’s implied. Like “money doesn’t make money today so everyone can stay home because the bank decides”
In France they are called “jour férié” from the old French “foirié”, literally “fair day”
