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.

I think of you've agreed a payment plan and then dont pay it you are in a worse position than just not paying it in the first place, as by agreeing to the payment plan you agree I'm the debt is yours and you can afford to pay it. Disputing the debt until it goes to court gives you a stronger position i believe.
Main difference from not paying your gas or electric bill is that they can't legally cut your water off.
Obviously get proper legal advice as I'm far from certain or a lawyer.
