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 all should ban screwdrvers and hammers and wrenches and cricket bats and especially blunted knives, sure it might inconvenience some people, but think of the chance of saving lives???
Just make them out of softer material, like cork.

Yeah, rubber mallets are still dangerous. That can be fixed with a sizeable donation to my prospective campaign fund.
If you ban all potential weapons, deaths due to weapons would fall, yes.
Make sure you ban all rocks and sticks, too!!!

Everything is a potential weapon.
