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.

Does he think he can’t turn down a bonus?
“Oh no please don’t force millions of pounds into my bank account! oh noo”
The point is why would you?
I'm an electrician working in a powerplant. I get paid more than teachers, nurses, junior doctors and many other professions which are arguably more valuable.
Ok, I'm only earning a few thousand more than them, not multiples of their salaries, but turning down my bonus only makes the shareholders richer, it's not money that would find it's way to the people that deserve it.
He already has done that a few times.
