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.

Princess Diana Boulevard?

You inspired me to do a search. there are currently NO roads in the UK that are named after Lady Diana.

edit = Someone found one street. I abase myself

Princess Diana Drive as well, built shortly after she died I recall, it was a bit controversial.

Perhaps not that surprising, considering the nature of her death...?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

I hadn't considered that.

Diana's Drove is named after her. Look at the nearby street names. It's in the next town north from the royal estate at Sandringham.

Edit: this is the first one I found. I'm pretty sure there are more.

I stand corrected.
