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.

All costs are passed onto customers. That's how business works.
It's really not just like that and that is a problem too.
It's just something capitalist say to make you not fought it. Any excuse goes to PR (even when it's not true at all).
If a company could sell at a higher price/revenue it already would have.
If a company can sell the product at eg a 20% higher price it would be very stupid of them not to do that before the cost increase. Nobody is selling at cost/production price, not in "free markets", that's communism.
