United Kingdom
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.

Just scrap school uniform entirely and don't allow any obvious branding on clothes. It's such a fucking waste of time.
Agreed. The argument that it's an equaliser is delusional and clearly made by people who didn't have to wear 20 year old hand me downs for their uniform.
Recently saw the average parent has to pay £350 for secondary school uniforms.
That is more than I spend on food for the whole of winter for myself, and more than my entire wardrobe.
Which wouldn't happen if uniforms were cheaper...
Hand me downs for other clothes still exists too.
I don't know why you think that would be the case. Uniforms were way cheaper when I was a kid in the 90s but my parents still couldn't buy me two sets of clothes. At least when I wore my own clothes I felt like me.
