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.

These constraints are negligibly small for the government, no? And this project can be active for years if needed. "Till it's over, over there."
I wouldn't say they're small constraints because they're not necessarily easy to fix. They could ease the load on the local authorities planning offices by hiring more staff or easing regulations, which will always drag on and take time. There's the fighting with NIMBY's in courts. And there's also only so many builders in the country that can be on projects at any given time.
