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.

The war drums are banging on both sides of the Atlantic. Interesting times. The Tories , and yesterday NATO are briefing for increased preparedness for ‘what might be to come’.
It’s feels like more than just the Generals asking for more money .
Nah, it’s election time.
Nothing wins votes like promising protection while there is fear of war.
Most voters are now way over conscription age....the over 60s vote on mass and they love "bring back national service". Even though it ended in 1960 so anyone under 80 would.not have been old enough to do it. They would vote to eat a shit sandwich just so they could shit breath on young people.
People can support Ukraine now or wait until they're drafted.
