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.

Maybe things can't only get better for Keir Starmer, as he is shamed with the latest polling just as the Labour conference begins

Other countries have digital IDs. We are abnormal for not having them.

You're being whipped into a frenzy over something that is extremely normal.

Making it out to be fascist is brain-dead. Only an absolute moron of the highest calibre would believe that the UK is one of only 8 non-fascist states in the world.

The majority of the world considered slavery and women being subservient normal, that didn't make it right.

You think it's brain dead to reject a digital ID.

I think it's braindead to sacrifice privacy for the sake of safety, especially when it's so transparent that the goal is control and suppression and not "protecting the children".

To each his own.
