Wait 'til you see the various benefits packages allocated to people with white collar jobs. Through my work I get a flat 4% off everything at Tesco. Sometimes I even get 6%.

The catch is that you have to (a) work for an employer providing the scheme, and (b) have enough cash in your bank account to pre-pay the account by a couple hundred pounds.

These systems are evidence that the sticker price is a tax on the poor.

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.
