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.

Why do you know the height of the London Eye. Are you a Russian agent?
It's about eye-level.
Anyway the test is multiple choice, so maybe if you know it's about 100m that's good enough?
The test is ridiculous, it asked a load of history that I wouldn't expect normal people to know, Brits or otherwise.
A true Brit would estimate the height in double decker buses, of course. They missed a trick there.
