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.

And that’s not even saying anything about the many, many times that government “incompetence” awarded the contract for the delivery of some goods/service to a tiny company that had only been established in the days/weeks prior by some relation to someone who made the decision about the spending.

The state, in the current design, is basically just a series of smoke and mirrors designed exclusively to steal from us, to fight our fellow humans for them, and thank them for the opportunity.
