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.

Me and you (hopefully) both understand that that is not a human mistake rather than mega corpos profit-hungry strategies to hook people up on sugary drinks. Instead of limiting peoples choices, we should strafe to punish companies for their aggressive strategies towards customers. As simple as regulate how much actual sugar goes in a drink. People will complain and hopefully drink less if it is less sweet. The ones who would keep drinking would ingest less sugar. Win-win for humanity, lose-win for corpos. This new rule looks like is fighting the cause in a backwards direction.

Sugar in drinks was already regulated. It wasn’t enough.
