There isn't a single homeless person successfully taking advantage of society. If you're "successfully" scamming society, why are you destitute??

Lots of homeless are assholes, belligerent, alcoholic, drug addicts, disregard laws, rules, and procedures. But they're not "taking advantage". If they were UNFAIRLY benefiting then they would by definition have more than the bare minimum required to live a decent life, not LESS. It's the system that's depriving all of us of the necessities of a dignified life, putting them behind a paywall.

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.
