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.

Repeat something enough and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. First it was "Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable", now it's "Nigel Farage is on course to be the next Prime Minister". Same thing.
Nigel Farage as PM is more of a historical inevitability at this point unless something really big happens, but the media is absolutely complicit.
You're doing it yourself.
No, it's just the historical march of fascism. Fascism in the UK could theoretically be stopped, but so far I haven't heard of enough real backlash to seriously consider the possibility.

Is there anything the lib dems and greens do to get more of the dropping labour support? It's scary to me how little of that drop has gone to the left.
