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.

really curious what type of person will fall for the bargain "what if we give you extra rights tied to your job, then take away your normal rights when you get sacked!" I imagine the most strident defenders won't be the ones covered under this; anyone concerned about the working class as a whole won't be impressed compared to the cuts from this government. I was gonna say maybe a few craven trade-unionists would get on board, but the only one quoted is a Labour peer and even he's not impressed.

so I'm wondering who really digs hearing about it, the target audience. in the US, part of the pipeline to the right for young people has been a hollowed-out appreciation for the aesthetics of organizing, post-Bernie 2016. would play great with them. but I don't know any analogous target audiences in the UK?
