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.

You could walk or cycle like a normal person. You don't need an emotional support SUV to take the kids to school.

Also the price of fuel is only like 10% or so higher, its not really that much of a difference.

According to this site , in the UK petrol (gasoline) has increased by 20% and in the USA by 35%.

A 50l tank has gone from an average of £57 (£1.15 per litre) to £77 (£1.55 per litre) at today's pricing.
