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.

I'd prefer the complete opposite of only Brussels telling us how to live and the Tories fucking off forever.
I don't think Brussels ever trying to make me do anything, or change my life in any noticeable way.
The Tories on the other hand not so much.
Hold on now, the EU had given us our rules on annoying things like keeping our water clean, allowing citizens to move around, and human rights.
How are we meant to exploit people and the environment being told to live like that?
In fact, the UK has been strong armed into over 52,000 laws!

Look, they're irritating things like reducing pollution, stopping our packaging from containing hazardous chemicals, keeping working hours fair, protecting temporary workers rights, banker regulation... how are the Tory government supposed to fuck everyone over with all these in place?
