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.

Seems like an intentional misinterpretation of the legislation.
At this rate the Tories will have the DWP send benefits claimants to workhouses run by Capita or G4S or other awful getup.
Workhouses? Surely you mean Employment Abodes?
Work Freedom Areas, as Tufton St. prefers.
Have they considered Rwanda yet? It seems like the plan for everyone else.
They did... until their mates who are hankering for free labour reminded them they don't own any businesses in Rwanda.
This had gone right out of my brain, work 40 hours, for free, not even expenses, you're paying to work. Ugh.
