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.

The firm took £70m from small investors before it collapsed in 2015, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Pickard, who pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading, was jailed for six years. Greenaway and Laver, who also admitted the charge, received sentences of five years and three months and four and a half years respectively.

That sentence doesn't seem appropriate. Do they lose everything? They should have to make up for their harms, not just sit in a cell and come out to a cushy life.
