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 Japanese rail companies use this model, building housing, retail and hotels near their lines to increase ridership.
Hell half of London was built this way.
And most of the u.s.
Also built in anti-NIMBY defences. Easy transport for the raw materials too, the more I think about it the more wins there are.
The houses will be in insufficient quantity and in poor location to make rail transport of materials viable. The houses are going where the goods sidings used to be.
