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.

I found it smug and irritating. The humorous columnists usually manage much better than this on something more substantial.
I did read the source for the column on holiday though and that's a bit better https://tinyurl.com/22jpnfw5
I agree, that source is better to read as straight observation.
But your Times guy is just having a gentle laugh at the whole thing. I don't like the Times and I don't read newspapers and I certainly wouldn't give any of them a subscription, but this isn't anything to get angry about.
