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.

Yeah, the CAP has required reforming for 40 years. I'd given up hope way before they spent all of our net contribution on poorly implemented and failed biodiversity policies, according to the EU's own auditors.

The CFP is also a cluster fuck that's based on fish quotas to satisfy boats, not fish. The bycatch and discards are a decades long failure. The herring population is about to collapse as a result, and over 10k dolphins are killed each and every year.
